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.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: HGFAC HGF activator| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=3083}}</ref>
