Used in research and development for studying the role of the c-Met receptor in cell signaling, proliferation, and migration. Commonly employed in protein-protein interaction studies, especially in cancer research where c-Met pathway dysregulation is involved. Serves as a detection tool in immunoassays and binding assays due to the Fc tag, enabling easy detection and purification using Fc-specific reagents. Supports drug discovery efforts by acting as a target for therapeutic antibodies and small molecule inhibitors aimed at blocking aberrant c-Met signaling in tumors.
