More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: Multifunctional growth factor which regulates both cell growth and cell motility. It exerts a strong mitogenic effect on hepatocytes and primary epithelial cells. Its receptor is PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-MET.      Other names Scatter Factor; Hepatopoietin A; Hepatopoietin; Growth Factor, Hepatocyte; Factor, Scatter; Factor, Hepatocyte Growth
