Validated All-in-One™ qPCR Primer for HDGF(NM_004494.2) Search again
By default, qPCR primer pairs are designed to measure the expression level of the splice variant (accession number) you selected for this gene WITHOUT consideration of other possible variants of this gene. If this gene has multiple variants, and you would like to measure the expression levels of one particular variant, multiple variants, or all variants, please contact us for a custom service project at inquiry@genecopoeia.com.

Summary
This gene encodes a member of the hepatoma-derived growth factor family. The encoded protein has mitogenic and DNA-binding activity and may play a role in cellular proliferation and differentiation. This gene was thought initially to be located on chromosome X, however, that location has been determined to correspond to a related pseudogene. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been described.

- HDGF is a highly expressed vascular endothelial cell protein in vivo and is a potent endothelial mitogen and regulator of endothelial cell migration by mechanisms distinct from VEGF.

- Increased HDGF expression is associated with intratumor microvessel density in non-small-cell lung cancer
- HDGF may be a novel prognostic factor for pancreatic ductal carcinoma.
- Hepatoma-derived growth factor expression level was shown to be associated with recurrence and prognosis of squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus.
- The N-terminal PWWP domain of HDGF is required for DNA binding. HDGF exerts its transcription repressive effect through binding to a conserved DNA element in the promoter of target genes.
- HDGF serves as a template for small ubiquitin-related modifier 1 (SUMO-1) conjugation, although it does not contain a suitable consensus site for SUMOylation.
- HDGF knock-down was found to induce the expression of the pro-apoptotic protein Bad and also inactivate ERK and Akt, which in turn led to dephosphorylation of Bad at Ser-112, Ser-136, and activation of the intrinsic apoptotic pathway.
- Quantitative RT-PCR to study the expression levels of the most interesting gene, HDGF, confirmed that its expression was higher in Ewing sarcoma than in control samples.
- HDGF functions as a transcriptional repressor of the SMYD1 gene through interaction with the transcriptional corepressor CtBP.
