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
We read with great interest the paper by Tsubouchi et al. (1) on the hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) in the blood of patients with fulminant hepatic failure (FHF). These authors have already elegantly reported the purification and partial characterization of hHGF from the plasma of a patient with FH
In vitro studies have shown hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to be a potent mitogen for hepatocytes. Direct evidence of a mitogenic role in vivo was sought by inhibiting HGF activity, using continuous administration of neutralizing antibody to rats which had a stimulus for liver regeneration.

We have cloned and characterized the gene and complementary DNA for a new kringle-containing protein. Although the function of this protein is not known, it has been called hepatocyte growth factor-like protein because it shares the same structural domains as hepatocyte growth factor, with four krin
