Product Name :
HGF monoclonal antibody Background :
The Hepatocyte Growth Factor was initially discovered as a mitogenic cytokine that induced hepatocyte replication and proliferation . HGF is produced by stromal cells where it is processed by extracellular serine proteases into a heterodimer consisting of alpha and beta subunits .Through activation of its receptor, cMET, HGF has a wide range of effects beyond hepatocytes that includes angiogenesis, epithelial cell proliferation and morphogenesis, and tissue protection and regeneration . The HGF-cMET axis has been associated with several diseases, including cancer, where HGF has been shown to promote invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance . These research studies suggest that HGF is a potential diagnostic and therapeutic target. Product :
Mouse IgG1. Liquid in PBS, pH 7.3, 30% glycerol, and 0.01% sodium azide. Storage&Stability :
Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles. Specificity :
Recognizes endogenous levels of HGF protein. Immunogen :
KLH-conjugated synthetic peptide encompassing a sequence within the center region of human HGF. The exact sequence is proprietary. Conjugate :
Unconjugated Modification :
Unmodification

Bioworld Biotech only provide peptides for our antibodies and do not provide additional peptide customization services.
Price/Size :
USD 368/1mg/vial
Tips:
For phospho antibody, we provide phospho peptide(0.5mg) and non-phospho peptide(0.5mg).Describe :
Blocking peptides are peptides that bind specifically to the target antibody and block antibody binding. These peptide usually contains the epitope recognized by the antibody. Antibodies bound to the blocking peptide no longer bind to the epitope on the target protein. This mechanism is useful when non-specific binding is an issue, for example, in Western blotting (WB) and Immunohistochemistry (IHC). By comparing the staining from the blocked antibody versus the antibody alone, one can see which staining is specific; Specific binding will be absent from the western blot or IHC performed with the neutralized antibody.Formula:
Synthetic peptide was lyophilized with 100% acetonitrile and is supplied as a powder. Reconstitute with 0.1 ml DI water for a final concentration of 10 mg/ml.The purity is >90%,tested by HPLC and MS.
Storage:
The freeze-dried powder is more stable. For short time at 2-8°C. For long term storage store at -20°C.
