PG - 404-10 AB - A number of developmental processes that involve cell migration, growth or morphogenesis depend on extracellular signals. A molecule that provides such signals, known as hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor (HGF/SF), has attracted considerable interest in recent years because of its distinct structure, mechanism of activation and important roles throughout embryogenesis. This review discusses the main features of HGF/SF and its receptor, the product of the c-met protooncogene, and their role in embryogenesis.
