- Automated Description
- Enables chemoattractant activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to hepatocyte growth factor stimulus; hepatocyte growth factor receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within regulation of branching involved in salivary gland morphogenesis by mesenchymal-epithelial signaling. Located in membrane. Implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 39; eye disease (multiple); neuropathy (multiple); and scleroderma (multiple). Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); biliary tract disease (multiple); myositis (multiple); retinal disease (multiple); and rheumatoid arthritis (multiple).
- RGD Description
- This gene encodes a protein that binds to the hepatocyte growth factor receptor to regulate cell growth, cell motility and morphogenesis in numerous cell and tissue types. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, at least one of which encodes a preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate alpha and beta chains, which form the mature heterodimer. This protein is secreted by mesenchymal cells and acts as a multi-functional cytokine on cells of mainly epithelial origin. This protein also plays a role in angiogenesis, tumorogenesis, and tissue regeneration. Although the encoded protein is a member of the peptidase S1 family of serine proteases, it lacks peptidase activity. Mutations in this gene are associated with nonsyndromic hearing loss.
