Gene: HGFAC
Alternate names for this Gene: HGFA
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the peptidase S1 protein family. The encoded protein is first synthesized as an inactive single-chain precursor before being activated to a heterodimeric form by endoproteolytic processing. It acts as serine protease that converts hepatocyte growth factor to the active form. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 4
Location in Chromosome : 4p16.3
Description of this Gene: HGF activator
Type of Gene: protein-coding
