CytoGrow™ Recombinant HGF (Human), CHO, Tag Free
Recombinant human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is expressed in CHO cells to ensure proper folding, glycosylation, and high biological activity. Produced in a tag-free format, this protein maintains its native structure and is ideal for use in cell culture systems, signaling studies, and therapeutic research.
HGF is a multifunctional growth factor that binds to the c-Met receptor, activating pathways involved in cell survival, proliferation, motility, and morphogenesis. It plays a critical role in liver regeneration, wound healing, angiogenesis, and epithelial-mesenchymal interactions. Recombinant human HGF is widely used in studies of tissue repair, fibrosis, oncology, and regenerative medicine.
