Hepatocyte growth factor (HGF)/c-Met signaling has been implicated in mammalian placental development. Integral c-Met can be released from endothelial cell membrane by proteolysis to form a soluble, truncated protein [soluble Met (sMet)], which is biochemically able to bind HGF and may disrupt HGF/c-Met signaling. By far, production of sMet in human placenta has not been reported, and the shedding mechanism remains unclear.
