Hepatocyte growth factor regulates cell growth, cell motility, and morphogenesis by activating a tyrosine kinase signaling cascade after binding to the proto-oncogenic c-Met receptor.
Hepatocyte growth factor is secreted by mesenchymal cells and acts as a multi-functional cytokine on cells of mainly epithelial origin.
Its ability to stimulate mitogenesis, cell motility, and matrix invasion gives it a central role in angiogenesis, tumorogenesis, and tissue regeneration.
It is secreted as a single inactive polypeptide and is cleaved by serine proteases into a 69-kD alpha-chain and 34-kD beta-chain.
A disulfide bond between the alpha and beta chains produces the active, heterodimeric molecule.
The protein belongs to the plasminogen subfamily of S1 peptidases but has no detectable protease activity.
Alternative splicing of this gene produces multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
Transcript Variant: This variant encodes the longest isoform.
To date, experimental evidence for cleavage of the proprotein into two mature chains has been shown only for isoform 1.
