Hepatocyte growth factor: molecular structure, roles in liver regeneration, and other biological functions.
Kunio Matsumoto, Toshikazu Nakamura
tlooto Summary
HGF mRNA and HGF activity increase markedly in the liver of rats after various liver injuries such as hepatitis, ischemia, physical crush, and partial hepatectomy, thus it suggests that HGF may act not only as a hepatotropic factor but also as a renotropic factor.
