Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 9.0.0)

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; receptor ligand activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including regulation of MAPK cascade; regulation of branching involved in salivary gland morphogenesis by mesenchymal-epithelial signaling; and regulation of cytokine production. Predicted to be active in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; egg cylinder; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Used to study autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 39 and breast cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 39; eye disease (multiple); neuropathy (multiple); and scleroderma (multiple). Orthologous to human HGF (hepatocyte growth factor).
