Abstract: Many factors and several kinds of biological functions involved in muscle development are studied by more and more researchers .As an important morphogenesis progenitor hepatocyte growth factor （HGF） is a big and multi-domain protein and plays an important role during myogenesis as mitogen and morphogen. A series of HGF-met signaling pathways perform their biological activities at proliferation stage and differentiation stage of myogenesis. More works about HGF molecular mechanism will be done in the future.

Key words: myogenesis; hepatocyte growth factor (HGF); morphogenesis
