Anti-HGFR antibodies enable researchers to detect and measure the HGFR antigen in biological samples. This target is a reported synonym of the MET gene, which encodes MET proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase. This protein is known to function in cell migration and receptor-mediated signaling pathways, among other biological roles. The human version of HGFR has a canonical amino acid length of 1390 residues and a protein mass of 155.5 kilodaltons, although 3 isoforms have been identified. It is reported to be localized in the membrane and is secreted of cells and widely expressed in many tissue types. Other names for this target antigen include AUTS9, DA11, and DFNB97.
