HGF (Hepatocyte Growth Factor)

Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) is a naturally occurring protein in the body that plays a key role in tissue repair and regeneration. It promotes the growth, movement, and survival of various cell types, especially liver cells, but also cells in muscles, blood vessels, and other tissues. HGF helps repair damage by encouraging new cell growth and supporting healing processes. It acts through specific receptors on cell surfaces to trigger these beneficial responses, making it important for recovery from injuries and maintaining healthy tissue function.
