SCF Protein, Human (HEK293, His)

Customer Review

Based on 1 Customer Validation

SCF proteins are ligands for the KIT receptor-type protein tyrosine kinase and regulate a variety of cellular processes, including survival, proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration, and melanogenesis. Binding to KIT activates signaling pathways involving PIK3R1, AKT1, GRB2, RAS, RAF1, MAP kinase, STAT family members, and PLCG1, producing diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. SCF Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived SCF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Biological Activity

Description

SCF proteins are ligands for the KIT receptor-type protein tyrosine kinase and regulate a variety of cellular processes, including survival, proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration, and melanogenesis. Binding to KIT activates signaling pathways involving PIK3R1, AKT1, GRB2, RAS, RAF1, MAP kinase, STAT family members, and PLCG1, producing diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. SCF Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived SCF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

Background

The GMP stem cell factor (SCF) protein serves as a ligand for the receptor-type protein-tyrosine kinase KIT, playing a pivotal role in the regulation of diverse cellular processes. Its functions span the control of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration, and melanogenesis. Upon binding with KIT, GMP SCF activates multiple signaling pathways, including the phosphorylation of PIK3R1 and subsequent activation of the kinase AKT1. The interaction also triggers signaling cascades involving GRB2, RAS, RAF1, and the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1. Furthermore, GMP SCF and KIT promote the activation of STAT family members (STAT1, STAT3, and STAT5), as well as PLCG1, leading to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Acting synergistically with other cytokines, likely interleukins, GMP SCF forms a homodimer non-covalently linked and a heterotetramer with KIT, facilitating KIT dimerization and subsequent activation through autophosphorylation.

Product Properties

Appearance

Lyophilized powder

Formulation

Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of 20 mM PB, 150 mM NaCl, pH 7.4.

Endotoxin Level

<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.

Reconstitution

It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 μg/mL in ddH2O. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% BSA, 5% HSA, 10% FBS or 5% Trehalose).

Storage & Stability

Stored at -20°C for 2 years from date of receipt. After reconstitution, it is stable at 4°C for 1 week or -20°C for longer (with carrier protein). It is recommended to freeze aliquots at -20°C or -80°C for extended storage.
