| Post Translational Modifications | The active form of HGFAC presents in the serum is derived from the COOH-terminal region of the precursor by the cleavage of bonds between Arg-372 and Val-373 and Arg-407 and Ile-408. |
| Function | Serine protease that hydrolyzes the inactive zymogen hepatocyte growth factor (HGFsc) to an activated disulfide-linked heterodimer, then initiating hepatocyte growth factor receptor signaling pathway. |
