Hepatocyte growth factor, a potent mitogen for epithelial and other cell types, and scatter factor, a stimulant of epithelial cell motility are identical. In addition to these mitogenic and motogenic functions, the factor has been shown to be an epithelial morphogen and also has antiproliferative ef
The scatter factor is a protein released by fibroblasts that causes dispersal of epithelial cell colonies and disruption of intercellular junctions, as well as an alteration of morphology with ruffling and rapid extension and movement of pseudopodia. To find out if the scatter factor has a direct ef
