ABSTRACT:
A growth factor protein similar in structure and function to hepatocyte growth factor has been discovered along with the DNA and cDNA coding for this in both the mouse and human. The DNA includes 18 exons and is homologous to DNA at the D3F15S2 locus on human chromosome 3; a region predicted to code for one or more tumor suppressor genes.
