PHGF Native Protein

Source : Pig Liver. Hepatocyte Growth Factor porcine is extracted from pig liver.The HGF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques. 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.

Product Specifications

Product Name Alternative

Scatter Factor (SF) ||Hepatopoietin (HPTA) ||HGF||HGFB||F-TCF||pHGF.

Purification

Greater than 98.0% as determined by (a) Analysis by RP-HPLC. (b) Analysis by SDS-PAGE.

Components

The sterile protein powder is lyophilized with no additives.

Storage Conditions

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.

Applications Notes

It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized pHGF in sterile 18MΩ-cm H2O not less than 100μg/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.
