Function

Potent mitogen for mature parenchymal hepatocyte cells, seems to be a hepatotrophic factor, and acts as a growth factor for a broad spectrum of tissues and cell types. Activating ligand for the receptor tyrosine kinase MET by binding to it and promoting its dimerization. {ECO:0000269PubMed:15167892, ECO:0000269PubMed:20624990}.

Subcellular Localization

Disease Associations

Deafness, autosomal recessive, 39 (DFNB39) [MIM:608265]: A form of profound prelingual sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural deafness results from damage to the neural receptors of the inner ear, the nerve pathways to the brain, or the area of the brain that receives sound information. {ECO:0000269PubMed:19576567}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
