Name : Human HGF Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human HGF Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Gln32-Ser728.[Accession | P14210-1]

Molecular Weight :
The HGF single chain can be processed into the active form of disulfide-linked heterodimer of α and β chain.The protein has a predicted MW of 79.6 kDa (after cleavage of the signal peptide). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 60-65 kDa corresponding to α chain and β chain based on Bis-Tris PAGE result.

Endotoxin Level :
Less than 1EU per μg by the LAL method.

Purity :
> 95% as determined by Tris-Bis PAGE> 95% as determined by HPLC

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS, 100mM L-arginine (pH 7.4). Normally 8% trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution :
Centrifuge the tube before opening. Reconstituting to a concentration more than 100 μg/ml is recommended. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in distilled water.

Storage and Stability :
-20 to -80°C for 12 months as supplied from date of receipt.-80°C for 3-6 months after reconstitution.2-8°C for 2-7 days after reconstitution.Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities for optimal storage. Please minimize freeze-thaw cycles.

Product Concentration :
Tris-Bis PAGE Human HGF on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. SEC-HPLC The purity of Human HGF is greater than 95% as determined by SEC-HPLC. ELISA Data Immobilized Human HGF R, His Tag at 1μg/ml (100μl/Well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human HGF, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 26.3ng/ml determined by ELISA.

Background :
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is an important component of the pathophysiology of IR, with increased levels in most common IR conditions, including obesity. HGF has a role in the metabolic flux of glucose in different insulin sensitive cell types; plays a key role in β-cell homeostasis; and is capable of modulating the inflammatory response.HGF plays a central role in these metabolic disorders,HGF levels could be employed as a biomarker for disease status/progression, and HGF/c-Met signaling pathway modulators could effectively regulate IR and treat diabetes.

Synonyms :
Hepatopoietin-A; SF; HPTA; HGF; DFNB39; F-TCF; F-TCFB; HGFB
