Catalog no.: ABIN413368

Additional Information

Characteristics: The ED 50 determined by the scattering activity in the MDCK cell assay is typically at 0.5-1.0 ng/ml.

Description: Human Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is also known as Scatter Factor and Hepatopoeitin A. HGF is a potent mitogen for mature parenchymal hepatocyte cells and acts as a growth factor for a broad spectrum of tissues and cell types. Recombinant human HGF is an 80 kDa disulfide-linked heterodimeric protein consisting of the alpha chain (463 amino acids) and the beta chain (234 amino acids).

Molecular Weight: 78 kDa

Application Details

Purity: >98% by SDS-PAGE and HPLC analyses Endotoxin level is <0.1 ng per μ g of HGF.

Buffer: Lyophilized from solution containing 50 mM Acetic acid

Storage: The lyophilized HGF is best-stored desiccated below 0 °C. Reconstitute HGF should be stored in working aliquots at -20 °C. Reconstitution: Centrifuge the vial prior to opening. Reconstitute in water to a concentration of 0.5-1 mg/ml. This solution can then be diluted into other aqueous buffers and stored at 4 °C for 1 week or – 20 °C for future use.

Restrictions: For Research Use only
