Hepatocyte Growth Factor (HGF) (also known as Hepatopoietin A [HPTA] (1–9) is a heterodimeric heparin-binding polypeptide mitogen for hepatocytes distinct from other well-known growth factors. In this study, biologically active radioiodinated HGF was used to identify binding sites on intact hepatocytes in culture. The results show the presence of relatively low affinity binding sites due to the presence of heparin or heparin-like molecules and high affinity specific receptor binding sites on the cell surface of intact hepatocytes. Scatchard analysis of binding data indicates an apparent dissociation constant (Kd) of 3.5 nM with 120,000 sites per hepatocyte for the cell-surface receptor. Analysis of affinity cross-linked125I-HGF-receptor complex by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions reveals the presence of a distinct band with apparent Mr of 230,000. These data show that HGF exerts its biological effect on hepatocytes (stimulation of DNA synthesis) through a specific and unique cell-surface receptor.
