SCF Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His)
Based on 3 publication(s) in Google Scholar
SCF proteins are ligands for the KIT receptor-type protein tyrosine kinase and are critical for multiple cellular processes, including survival, proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration, and melanogenesis.Binding to KIT activates multiple signaling pathways involving PIK3R1, AKT1, GRB2, RAS, RAF1, MAP kinase, STAT family members and PLCG1, producing signaling molecules.SCF Protein, Mouse (HEK293, His) is the recombinant mouse-derived SCF protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.

The stem cell factor (SCF) protein serves as a ligand for the receptor-type protein-tyrosine kinase KIT, playing a crucial role in the regulation of various cellular processes. Its functions encompass the control of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration, and melanogenesis. Upon binding with KIT, SCF activates multiple signaling pathways, including the phosphorylation of PIK3R1 and subsequent activation of AKT1. The interaction also triggers signaling cascades involving GRB2, RAS, RAF1, and the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1. Furthermore, SCF and KIT promote the activation of STAT family members (STAT1, STAT3, and STAT5), as well as PLCG1, leading to the production of diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate as cellular signaling molecules. Acting synergistically with other cytokines, likely interleukins, SCF forms a homodimer non-covalently linked and a heterotetramer with KIT, facilitating KIT dimerization and subsequent activation through autophosphorylation.
Measured in a cell proliferation assay using TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. The ED50 for this effect is 2.879 ng/mL, corresponding to a specific activity is 3.47×105 units/mg.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution of PBS, pH 7.4.
<1 EU/μg, determined by LAL method.
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).
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.
Room temperature in continental US; may vary elsewhere.
