name: hepatocyte growth factor receptor activity
namespace: molecular_function
def: "Combining with hepatocyte growth factor receptor ligand and transmitting the signal across the plasma membrane to initiate a change in cell activity." [GOC:mah]
comment: Note that this term represents an activity and not a gene product, and should only be used when the receptor binds the ligand HGF. For receptors that bind other growth factors, consider annotating to other terms under 'transmembrane signaling receptor activity ; GO:0004888.
