A cDNA encoding mouse hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA) has been cloned by RT-
PCR, based on the screening result from the database of expressed sequence tags.
Subsequently, its gene was cloned from a mouse genomic bacterial artificial chromosome
library using the cDNA as a probe. Sequencing analysis revealed that mouse HGFA protein
deduced from the cDNA, similar to its human and rat counterparts, has two epidermal growth
factor-like domains, type 1 and 2 fibronectin homology domains, a single kringle domain and …
