Molecular weight
The secreted recombinant human HGF consists of 697 amino acids after cleavage of the signal peptide and has a predicted molecular mass of 79.7 kDa. The HGF single chain can be processed into the active form of disulfide-linked heterodimer of ? and ? chain. As a result of glycosylation, it migrates with the apparent molecular mass of 90, 60 and 34 kDa corresponding to the single chain, ? chain and ? chain respectively in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

Purity
> 93 % as determined by SDS-PAGE
-
Activity
Measured by its ability to neutralize TGF-beta mediated inhibition on Mv-1-Lu cell proliferation.
The ED50 for this effect is typically 2-10 ng/mL. -
