Abstract excerpt
Hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF), the ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase encoded by the c-Met proto-oncogene, is a multidomain protein structurally related to the pro-enzyme plasminogen and with major roles in development, tissue regeneration and cancer. We have expressed the N-terminal (N) domain, the four kringle domains (K1 to K4) and the serine proteinase homology domain (SP) of HGF/SF...
