    Summary
    This gene encodes a protein that binds to the hepatocyte growth factor receptor to regulate cell growth, cell motility and morphogenesis in numerous cell and tissue types. The encoded preproprotein is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products, including the hepatocyte growth factor alpha and beta chains, which heterodimerize to form the mature active protein. Although this protein is a member of the peptidase S1 family of serine proteases, it lacks peptidase activity. Homozygous knockout mice for this gene exhibit embryonic lethality due to impaired development of the placenta and liver. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2015]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
