Name : Human HGF R/c-MET Protein

Product Source :
Recombinant Human HGF R/c-MET Protein is expressed from HEK293 with hFc tag at the C-Terminus. It contains Glu25-Thr932.[Accession | P08581-1]

Molecular Weight :
The mature form of HGF R is a heterodimer which can be cleaved into α and β chain. The protein has a predicted MW of 32.5 kDa (α chain) and 95.9 kDa (β chain Fc chimera). Due to glycosylation, the protein migrates to 45-55 kDa and 100-120 kDa based on Tris-Bis PAGE result.

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

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

Formulation :
Lyophilized from 0.22μm filtered solution in PBS (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 R on Tris-Bis PAGE under reduced condition. The purity is greater than 95%. ELISA Data Immobilized Human HGF R, hFc Tag at 5μg/ml (100μl/Well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Biotinylated Anti-HGF R Antibody, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 26.7ng/ml determined by ELISA (QC Test). ELISA Data Immobilized Human HGF, His Tag at 1μg/ml (100μl/Well) on the plate. Dose response curve for Human HGF R, hFc Tag with the EC50 of 23.7ng/ml determined by ELISA.

Background :
c-Met, also called tyrosine-protein kinase Met or hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGF R), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MET gene.The protein possesses tyrosine kinase activity. The primary single chain precursor protein is post-translationally cleaved to produce the alpha and beta subunits, which are disulfide linked to form the mature receptor. Following activation by ligand, interacts with the PI3-kinase subunit PIK3R1, PLCG1, SRC, GRB2, STAT3 or the adapter GAB1. Recruitment of these downstream effectors by MET leads to the activation of several signaling cascades including the RAS-ERK, PI3 kinase-AKT, or PLCgamma-PKC. The RAS-ERK activation is associated with the morphogenetic effects while PI3K/AKT coordinates prosurvival effects. During embryonic development, MET signaling.
