Abcam, ab253454, Human HGF Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free (Hepatocyte Growth Factor)

Size: 10 x 96Tests
Human HGF Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free (Hepatocyte Growth Factor) is a kit containing recombinant capture and detector antibodies in a carrier-free formulation for the measurement of Human HGF (Hepatocyte Growth Factor).
Key facts
Reacts with:Human,
Assay type:ELISA set,
Range:78.125 - 5000 pg/mL,
Assay Platform:Reagents

Product details:
Both capture and detector antibodies are
recombinant rabbit monoclonal antibodies
delivering consistent, specific, and sensitive results.
The Antibody Pair can be used to quantify Human HGF. BSA and Azide free antibody pairs include
unconjugated
capture and detector antibodies suitable for sandwich ELISAs. The antibodies are provided at an approximate concentration of 1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method. The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization for ELISA-based assays. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
For additional information on the performance of the antibody pair, see the equivalent SimpleStep ELISA® Kit (
ab275901
), which uses the same antibodies. However, due to differences in their formulation, this antibody pair cannot be used with the consumables provided with our SimpleStep ELISA Kits. Please note that the range provided for the pairs is only an estimation based on the performance of the related product using the same antibody pair. Performance of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay. We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibody pair in your assay.

The hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) also known as scatter factor (SF) is a protein with a mass of approximately 83 kDa. This protein is mostly expressed in the liver but it can also be found in other organs such as the kidney and the lungs. HGF acts mechanically by binding to the c-Met receptor activating intracellular signaling mechanisms necessary for various physiological processes. Researchers often use HGF ELISA kits to measure its levels in biological samples and study its various roles.
Biological function summary
HGF plays an essential role in cellular growth regeneration and healing processes across different tissues. It is not part of a complex but functions as a single-chain polypeptide that undergoes cleavage into its active form. HGF facilitates cell proliferation and migration; this is especially important during organ regeneration and repair processes. By engaging with its receptor c-Met it induces cell survival and cytoskeletal reorganization making it important for wound healing.
Pathways
HGF is critical in the MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways which impact processes like cell division and survival. Through these pathways HGF interacts with other proteins such as ERK and Akt contributing to the regulation of cellular growth and metabolism. HGF's role in these pathways highlights its importance in developmental processes and tissue homeostasis.
HGF displays significant connections to cancer and liver cirrhosis. Its overexpression can lead to the development of various carcinomas due to its effect on cell proliferation and migration. In liver cirrhosis the altered HGF-c-Met signaling might contribute to the disease progression and hepatic dysfunction. Additionally HGF can interact with proteins such as transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-β) in these conditions influencing the pathological environment.
