SPINT2, also known as kunitz-type protease inhibitor 2, inhibits HGF activator which prevents the formation of active hepatocyte growth factor. This protein has been identified as a putative tumor suppressor gene silenced by promoter methylation. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa28-197 from human SPINT2, fused to His-tag at C-terminal expressed in insect cell.
