General description
Blockade of receptor-ligand interaction: In a functional ELISA, 0.3-1 μg/mL of this antibody will block 50% of the binding of 5 ng/mL of Recombinant Human HGF to immobilized Recombinant Mouse HGF R/cMET Fc Chimera coated at 1 μg/mL (100 μL/well). At 20 μg/mL, this antibody will block >90% of the binding.
Immunogen
purified recombinant mouse hepatocyte growth factor receptor extracellular domain expressed in insect Sf 21 cells.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a multifunctional, heparin-binding factor that stimulates the proliferation of liver cells. The cellular effects of HGF are mediated by its receptor, c-Met, that leads to significant activation of ERK, Src/FAK, STAT3 and PI3K signaling. Various functions of the HGF/c-Met signaling include proliferation, cell survival, motility, adhesion and tissue regeneration. Apart from liver, HGF also mediates regeneration of kidney, lung and gastro-intestines.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in phosphate buffered saline (pH 7.4) with 5% trehalose.
