Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) exerts biological activity through the Met receptor tyrosine kinase. HGF plays essential roles in the embryonic development of the liver and placenta, and in the migration of myogenic precursor cells. In mature tissues, HGF plays roles in tissue protection and regeneration, including in the liver and kidney. HGF participates in invasion, metastasis, and drug resistance. Drug development targeting HGF-Met has been challenging. One focus has been the use of recombinant HGF as a biological drug and another has been the use of HGF-Met inhibitors for cancer treatment. Clinical trials using HGF or HGF-Met inhibitors are ongoing. © 2014 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
