The recombinant canine c-Met is a disulfide-linked heterodimer composed of proteolytically cleaved α and β subunits. Each α and β subunit together consists of 922 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 103 (α =33 + β =70) kDa. As a result of glycosylation, the apparent molecular mass of the canine c-Met is approximately 42-47 kDa and 85-95 kDa respectively in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.
