Description: A DNA sequence encoding the extracellular domain (Met 1-Thr 932) of human c-Met (NP_000236) was fused with the C-terminal polyhistidine-tagged Fc region of human IgG1 at the C-terminus.
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase family of proteins and the product of the proto-oncogene MET. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate alpha and beta subunits that are linked via disulfide bonds to form the mature receptor. Further processing of the beta subunit results in the formation of the M10 peptide, which has been shown to reduce lung fibrosis. Binding of its ligand, hepatocyte growth factor, induces dimerization and activation of the receptor, which plays a role in cellular survival, embryogenesis, and cellular migration and invasion. Mutations in this gene are associated with papillary renal cell carcinoma, hepatocellular carcinoma, and various head and neck cancers. Amplification and overexpression of this gene are also associated with multiple human cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2016]
Uniprot Description
Receptor tyrosine kinase that transduces signals from the extracellular matrix into the cytoplasm by binding to hepatocyte growth factor/HGF ligand. Regulates many physiological processes including proliferation, scattering, morphogenesis and survival. Ligand binding at the cell surface induces autophosphorylation of MET on its intracellular domain that provides docking sites for downstream signaling molecules. Following activation by ligand, interacts with the PI3-kinase subunit PIK3R1, PLCG1, SRC, GRB2, STAT3 or the adapter GAB1. Recruitment of these downstream effectors by MET leads to the activation of several signaling cascades including the RAS-ERK, PI3 kinase-AKT, or PLCgamma-PKC. The RAS-ERK activation is associated with the morphogenetic effects while PI3K/AKT coordinates prosurvival effects. During embryonic development, MET signaling plays a role in gastrulation, development and migration of muscles and neuronal precursors, angiogenesis and kidney formation. In adults, participates in wound healing as well as organ regeneration and tissue remodeling. Promotes also differentiation and proliferation of hematopoietic cells. May regulate cortical bone osteogenesis ().

Product Notes
The c-MET / HGFR met (Catalog #AAA2546138) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Human Cells and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. The mature recombinant human c-Met/Fc is a disulfide-linked tetramer composed of two proteolytically cleaved alpha and beta subunits. Each alpha and beta together with the C-terminal Fc tag consists of 1155 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 129.5 (alpha =32.5 + Fc tagged beta=97) kDa. The rh c-MET/Fc heterodimer thus migrates with apparent molecular mass of approximately 45 kDa and 120 kDa respectively in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation. Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the c-MET / HGFR met for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "c-MET / HGFR, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
