Description

Hepatocyte Growth Factor CAS NO 67256-21-7 is a potent polypeptide cytokine that plays a critical role in cellular growth, motility, and morphogenesis. This signaling protein is essential for tissue regeneration, organ development, and wound healing processes. It is primarily utilized by research institutions, biopharmaceutical developers, and manufacturers of advanced cell culture media and regenerative medicine products.

Application

• Biomedical Research: Used as a key reagent in hepatocyte proliferation studies, liver regeneration models, and stem cell differentiation protocols.
• Pharmaceutical Development: Serves as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or critical raw material in the development of therapies for liver diseases and tissue repair.
• Cell Culture & Tissue Engineering: An essential component of specialized serum-free media for the expansion and maintenance of primary hepatocytes and other epithelial cells.
• Diagnostic Manufacturing: Employed in the production of immunoassay kits and diagnostic standards for measuring HGF levels in clinical samples.
• Regenerative Medicine: Investigated for use in therapeutic applications aimed at promoting organ repair and reducing fibrosis.

Quality Control

Our Hepatocyte Growth Factor is produced and tested under stringent quality management systems. Each batch is subjected to comprehensive analytical testing including identity confirmation, purity assessment, and biological activity assays to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, endotoxin levels, and biological potency are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store lyophilized material at -20°C or below. Reconstituted solutions should be aliquoted and stored at -80°C to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. The product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) and must be handled in a dry environment.
