Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF) induces cell scattering through the tyrosine kinase-type HGF/SF receptor, c-Met. We have previously shown that SHP-2, a protein tyrosine phosphatase, positively regulates the HGF/SF-induced cell scattering through modulating the activity of Rho to form stress fibres and focal adhesions. To further investigate the role of SHP-2 in HGF/SF-induced cell...
