HGFR/c-MET Small Molecules and Peptides

HGFR (Hepatocyte Growth Factor Receptor), also known as Met, is a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a central role in epithelial morphogenesis and cancer development. In the absence of ligand, HGFR forms noncovalent complexes with a variety of membrane proteins including CD44v6, CD151, EGFR, Fas, Integrin alpha 6 beta 4, Plexins B1, 2, 3, and MSPR/Ron. Ligation of one complex component triggers activation of the other, followed by cooperative signaling effects. Formation of some of these ...
