Detection of endogenous Met in HepG2 cell line. 10 ug/lane of HepG2 cell lysate was used to examine the expression of MET (phospho Y1234/1235) monoclonal antibody, clone 6AT1877 (Cat # MAB0115).
The proto-oncogene MET product is the hepatocyte growth factor receptor and encodes tyrosine-kinase activity. The primary single chain precursor protein is post-translationally cleaved to produce the alpha and beta subunits, which are disulfide linked to form the mature receptor. Various mutations in the MET gene are associated with papillary renal carcinoma. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq
