Product Overview

Recombinant rat MET (Q2IBC7) (Met1-Asn932) was expressed with the Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.

Description

Hepatocyte growth factor receptor (HGFR), also known as c-Met or mesenchymal-epithelial transition factor (MET), is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that is overexpressed and/or mutated in a variety of malignancies. HGFR protein is produced as a single-chain precursor, and HGF is the only known ligand. Normal HGF/HGFR signaling is essential for embryonic development, tissue repair, or wound healing, whereas aberrantly active HGFR has been strongly implicated in tumorigenesis, particularly in the development of invasive and metastatic phenotypes. HGFR protein is a multifaceted regulator of growth, motility, and invasion, and is normally expressed by cells of epithelial origin. Preclinical studies suggest that targeting aberrant HGFR signaling could be an attractive therapy in cancer.

Endotoxin

< 1.0 EU/μg of the protein as determined by the LAL method

Purity

> 95 % as determined by SDS-PAGE

Storage

Samples are stable for up to twelve months from date of receipt at -20 to -80 centigrade.
Store it under sterile conditions at -20 to -80 centigrade. It is recommended that the protein be aliquoted for optimal storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Reconstitution

A hardcopy of COA with reconstitution instruction is sent along with the products. Please refer to it for detailed information.

SDS-PAGE

Bioactivity-ELISA 1

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized Rat HGF at 2 μg/mL (100 μL/well) can bind Rat c-MET hFc, the EC50 of Rat c-MET hFc is 3.5-18 ng/mL.
