Query author contributions in Reactome

Reactome depends on collaboration between our curation team and outside experts to assemble and peer-review its pathway modules. The integration of ORCID within Reactome enables us to meet a key challenge with authoring, curating and reviewing biological information by incentivizing and crediting the external experts that contribute their expertise and time to the Reactome curation process. More information is available at ORCID and Reactome.

If you have an ORCID ID that is not listed on this page, please forward this information to us and we will update your Reactome pathway records.

commentFUNCTION Potent mitogen for mature parenchymal hepatocyte cells, seems to be a hepatotrophic factor, and acts as a growth factor for a broad spectrum of tissues and cell types (PubMed:20624990). Activating ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase MET by binding to it and promoting its dimerization (PubMed:15167892, PubMed:20977675). Activates MAPK signaling following TMPRSS13 cleavage and activation (PubMed:20977675).SUBUNIT Dimer of an alpha chain and a beta chain linked by a disulfide bond. Interacts with SRPX2; the interaction increases HGF mitogenic activity.INTERACTION The single-chain precursor undergoes proteolytic processing by TMPRSS13 resulting in an active two-chain form (PubMed:20977675). The single-chain precursor undergoes proteolytic processing by HGFAC resulting in an active two-chain form (PubMed:8226803).DISEASE The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.MISCELLANEOUS Acts as a competitive antagonist in MET-signaling.SIMILARITY Belongs to the peptidase S1 family. Plasminogen subfamily.CAUTION Has lost two of the three essential catalytic residues and so probably has no enzymatic activity.ONLINE INFORMATION Hepatocyte growth factor entry
