Hepatocyte growth factor activator is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HGFAC gene.[1][2][3]

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to peptidase family S1. It is first synthesized as an inactive single-chain precursor before being activated to a heterodimeric form by endoproteolytic processing. It acts as serine protease that converts hepatocyte growth factor to the active form.[3]
