Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0)
Predicted to enable chemoattractant activity; growth factor activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hepatocyte growth factor receptor signaling pathway; regulation of MAPK cascade; and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; egg cylinder; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 39 and breast cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 39; eye disease (multiple); neuropathy (multiple); and scleroderma (multiple). Orthologous to human HGF (hepatocyte growth factor).
