Inquiry Info. # 9907

Please see our recommended alternatives.

    Product Information

    Product Usage Information

    CST recommends using 50-100 ng/ml of SCF for stimulation of SCF signaling.

    Storage

    Human SCF is supplied as a solution. It should be stored at –80°C. Aliquot the reagent upon receipt and avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

    Product Description

    The human SCF coding cDNA was obtained from human bone marrow stromal cell mRNA, subcloned into a prokaryotic expression vector and expressed in E. coli. The recombinant human SCF protein was purified and stored in PBS buffer containing 0.1% BSA.
    MW (kDa) 18.5
    Purity >97%
    Activity The EC50 for stimulation of TF-1 cell proliferation is 4-8 ng/ml.

    Source / Purification

    Human Recombinant Protein

    Background

    Stem cell factor (SCF) is a growth factor that is essential for hematopoiesis, melanogenesis and fertility. SCF is also known as mast cell growth factor (MCGF), steel factor (SLF), or kit ligand (KL) (1-3). SCF mediates its biological effects by binding to and activating c-Kit (4). SCF induces dimerization of c-Kit followed by trans-autophosphorylation of the cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase domain, leading to subsequent recruitment of signaling proteins, tyrosine phosphorylation of substrates, and activation of multiple signaling pathways (5,6). SCF/c-Kit may take part in the growth control of human malignancies (7).
