摘要:
The NK1 fragment of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) binds to and activates the Met receptor, a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a critical role in embryonic development and organ formation. The instant application discloses NK1 variant polypeptides which act as agonists or antagonists of HGF. Further disclosed are covalently linked NK1 variant polypeptides. Many of the disclosed variant polypeptides possess improved stability characteristics.
