Hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA)

Target (abbrv.) HGFA
Target (full name) Hepatocyte growth factor activator
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL006512 (3617-80_4)
Entrez Gene Symbol HGFAC
UniProt ID Q04756
UniProt Comment
  • Activates hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) by converting it from a single chain to a heterodimeric form.

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs3135063) and 2 proxy variant(s) that is/are in linkage disequilibrium r2 ≥ 0.8. Linkage disequilibrium is based on data from the 1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population and was retrieved using SNiPA's Block Annotation feature.
