Assignment of the hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) to chromosome 7q22-qter.
The hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is thought to be important in the growth of hepatocytes during normal foetal liver growth and following liver damage. The human gene encoding HGF has been mapped to chromosome 7 and shown to be localized in the region q22-qter.
