Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) Analogs
Catalog heading for products claimed to mimic hepatocyte growth factor; HGF itself is a large multifunctional protein, not a small peptide.
Overview
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a real, well-characterized protein that signals through the c-Met receptor and regulates cell growth, motility, and tissue regeneration, including liver regeneration. However, HGF is a large multidomain protein, and small peptide products sold under an HGF Analogs heading do not correspond to compounds with published identities or clinical data. Such listings should be understood as commercial categories whose research status is undefined.
