Recombinant Human Hepatocyte growth factor-like protein (MST1), Truncated

Uniprot Id

P26927

Target Species

Human

Target Name

MST1

Target Full Name

Hepatocyte growth factor-like protein

Target Involvement

MST1 variant Cys-689 may be associated with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), a chronic, relapsing inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract with a complex etiology. It is unsure whether Cys-689 itself or a variation in linkage disequilibrium with Cys-689 is responsible for the association with IBD.

Target Subcellular Location

Secreted.

Target Protein Families

Peptidase S1 family, Plasminogen subfamily

Target Synonyms

D3F15S2; DNF15S2; Hepatocyte growth factor like protein alpha chain; Hepatocyte growth factor like protein; Hepatocyte growth factor like protein beta chain; Hepatocyte growth factor like protein homolog; Hepatocyte growth factor-like protein beta chain; HGFL; HGFL_HUMAN; Macrophage stimulating 1 (hepatocyte growth factor like); Macrophage stimulatory protein; Macrophage-stimulating protein; MSP; MST1; NF15S2; OTTHUMP00000208927

Target Background

The protein encoded by this gene contains four kringle domains and a serine protease domain, similar to that found in hepatic growth factor. Despite the presence of the serine protease domain, the encoded protein may not have any proteolytic activity. The receptor for this protein is RON tyrosine kinase, which upon activation stimulates ciliary motility of ciliated epithelial lung cells. This protein is secreted and cleaved to form an alpha chain and a beta chain bridged by disulfide bonds.
