Active Recombinant Rat Met Protein

• Cat.No.: Met-4417R
• Product Overview: Rat Met (X96786, 958 a.a. - end) partial recombinant protein expressed in Sf9 cells.

Specification

• Description: MET is a single pass tyrosine kinase receptor essential for embryonic development, organogenesis and wound healing. Hepatocyte growth factor/Scatter Factor (HGF/SF) and its splicing isoform (NK1, NK2) are the only known ligands of the MET receptor. MET is normally expressed by cells of epithelial origin, while expression of HGF/SF is restricted to cells of mesenchymal origin. When HGF/SF binds its cognate receptor MET it induces its dimerization through a not yet completely understood mechanism leading to its activation.
