Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) or scatter factor (SF) is a paracrine cellular growth, motility and morphogenic factor. It is secreted by mesenchymal cells and targets and acts primarily upon epithelial cells and endothelial cells , but also acts on haemopoietic progenitor cells and T cells .
Hepatocyte growth factor activator is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HGFAC gene. [5] [6] [7]The protein encoded by this gene, belongs to peptidase family S1. It is first synthesized as an inactive single-chain precursor before being activated to a heterodimeric form by endoproteolytic processing.
A growth factor is a naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating cell proliferation, wound healing, and occasionally cellular differentiation. [1] Usually it is a secreted protein or a steroid hormone .

Human hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is an 80kD [1] pleiotropic protein that is endogenously produced by a variety of cell types from the mesenchymal cell lineage (such as cardiomyocytes and neurons). [4] It is produced and proteolytically cleaved to its active state in response to cellular injury or during apoptosis.
The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force released a draft recommendation advising against using vitamin D to prevent falls and fractures in people over 60. Pharmacist Katy Dubinsky weighs in.
Michalopoulos has contributed to the field of pathology through his work on liver function, regeneration, and carcinogenesis.He has utilized various experimental models, such as hepatocyte cultures, hepatic organoids, established cell lines, studies on liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy, examinations of regeneration through progenitor cell pathways, investigations into liver ...
