Ab40 binds to the trypsin like serine protease hepatocyte growth factor activator (HGFA) and has an affinity of 0.2 nM to HGFA. It is a potent inhibitor of HGFA catalytic activity. The antibody binds at the periphery of the substrate binding cleft and imposes a conformational change on the entire 99-loop (chymotrypsinogen numbering).
Figure 1 Antibody specificity.
The results demonstrated a complete lack of binding to factor XIIa, urokinase, and matriptase, suggesting good specificity to HGFA.

Figure 2 Inhibition of HGFA Enzymatic Activity by Ab40.
A. Ab40 inhibited the cleavage of pro-HGF into the α/β-heterodimer mediated by HGFA. B. The enzymatic activity of HGFA was only partially inhibited by Ab40. C. It demonstrated that Ab40 were partial competitive inhibitors of HGFA.

Figure 3 Effects of Active Site Inhibitors on Antibody Binding to HGFA.
A,B. Surface plasmon resonance studies with HGFA-KQLR complex showed that the irreversibly bound peptidic inhibitor interfered with the binding of Ab40. C. The Kunitz domain inhibitor KD1, which interacts with the extended active-site region, also interferes with Ab40 binding in surface plasmon resonance experiments. D. A competition ELISA showed moderate inhibition of KD1 binding to HGFA by Ab40.
