What Does HGF Stand For?
HGF stands for Hepatocyte Growth Factor
Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a vital protein that plays a significant role in cell growth, regeneration, and tissue repair. It is primarily produced by mesenchymal cells and acts on hepatocytes, the main functional cells of the liver, promoting their proliferation and survival. HGF also has implications in other physiological processes, including angiogenesis, wound healing, and the response to injury in various tissues. Its therapeutic potential is being explored in regenerative medicine and the treatment of liver diseases.
