Abstract
Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) is a polypeptide involved in liver regeneration. Its amino acid sequence and gene structure are similar to those of coagulation-related serine proteases. We have used a cDNA clone of HGF and flow-sorted human chromosomes to assign this gene to chromosome 7. Fluorescence in situ hybridization of the HGF genomic clones to human metaphase chromosome spreads showed the localization of this gene to 7q21. Estimation of fluorescent signals relative to arbitrary reference points (ARPs) allowed further localization to 7q21.1.
