Background of HGF

Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is the most potent mitogen for mature parenchymal hepatocytes in primary culture, and seems to be a hepatotrophic factor that acts as a trigger for liver regeneration after partial hepatectomy and liver injury. HGF has a relative molecular mass (Mr) of 82,000 and is a heterodimer composed of a large alpha-subunit of Mr 69,000 and a small beta-subunit of Mr 34,000. The protein consists of 728 amino acid residues, including a possible signal peptide at the N-terminus. HGF may serve as a paracrine mediator to control placental development and growth. This growth factor may play an important role as a paracrine mediator of the proliferation of melanocytes and endothelial cells, as well as cells of epithelial origin. The gene encoding the human HGF is assigned to human chromosome 7.

Recommended Sample Dilution Ratios

According to our internal validation assays using this ELISA kit, to detect HGF, For serum, dilution ratio is 1:1 and concentration is 799-3642 pg/ml.
For plasma, dilution ratio is 1:1 and concentration is 375-1946 pg/ml..

Some articles we found to cite concentrations of HGF in samples: 25697336 (Pubmed IDs).

Intra Assay Consistency & Inter Assay Consistency

We measured random samples of Human HGF/Hepatocyte growth factor ELISA Kit PicoKine® within the same batch/lot to ensure the consistency of the kits' performances. ELISA intra assay consistency is measured using wells from the same plate/assay kit. ELISA inter assay consistency is measured using wells from different plates from the same batch production/lot.

Reproducibility

We ensure reproducibility by testing three samples with differing concentrations of HGF in ELISA kits from four different production batches/lots.
