PG-001HGF Alternative Peptide (c-Met Agonist)

Fully-Chemically Synthesized Peptide with Activity
Equivalent to HGF

PeptiGrowth succeeded in developing a peptide that has the same receptor activation ability and cell proliferation promotion ability as HGF. PG-001, an alternative peptide to HGF, induces dimerization of c-Met receptors and exerts biological activity, similar to activities of HGF.

*This is for illustrative purpose.

We performed a functional comparison test between our HGF Alternative Peptide (PG-001) and commercially available recombinant HGF.
From the results, PG-001 showed the property which promotes the phosphorylation of c-Met receptor and the proliferation of HUVEC at the same level per molecule compared with recombinant HGF.
The molecular weight of HGF Alternative peptide is approximately 4.7kDa, which is approximately 16 times smaller than that of recombinant HGF.

Proliferation (HUVEC)

Applications Data

Professor Hideki Taniguchi at the Institute of Medical Science, University of Tokyo conducted proliferation and cloning tests of liver cells derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPS cells) using recombinant HGF or PG-001. As a result, it was confirmed that PG-001 has activity equivalent to HGF at the same level.
