Description
Data Sheet
| Description | Hepatocyte Growth Factor porcine is extracted from pig liver.The HGF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. |
| Expression host | Pig Liver. |
| Formulation | The sterile protein powder is lyophilized with no additives. |
| Protein Background | Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a multifunctional growth factor which regulates both cell growth and cell motility. It exerts a strong mitogenic effect on hepatocytes and primary epithelial cells. HGF synergizes with Interleukin-3and GM-CSFto stimulate colony formation of hematopoietic progenitor cells in vitro and may, therefore, also modulate hematopoiesis. |
| Purity | Greater than 98.0% as determined by:(a) Analysis by RP-HPLC.(b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE. |
| Reagent Appearance | Sterile Filtered White lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
| Solubility | It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized pHGF in sterile 18M-cm H2O not less than 100ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions. |
| Stability | Lyophilized pHGF although stable at room temperature for 3 weeks, should be stored desiccated below -18°C. Upon reconstitution pHGF should be stored at 4°C between 2-7 days and for future use below -18°C. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA).Please prevent freeze-thaw cycles. |
| Synonyms | Scatter Factor (SF), Hepatopoietin (HPTA), HGF, HGFB, F-TCF, pHGF. |
