Storage: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.
Biological Activity
Description
SCF Protein, Rat (P.pastoris) is a hematopoietic cytokine, triggered by binding to its ligand c-kit, and plays an important role in hematopoiesis, spermatogenesis, and melanogenesis.
Background
Stem Cell Factor is a hematopoietic cytokine, triggered by binding to its ligand c-kit, and plays an important role in hematopoiesis, spermatogenesis, and melanogenesis. Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is applied for hematopoietic stem cell mobilization, exvivo stem/progenitor cell expansion, gene therapy, and immunotherapy[1]. Stem Cell Factor regulates cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, and migration in divergent cell types[2].
Verified Bioactivity
The ED50 is <25 ng/mL as measured by TF-1 cells, corresponding to a specific activity of >4 × 104 units/mg.

Product Properties
Lyophilized powder.
Lyophilized from a 0.22 μm filtered solution of PBS.
<0.2 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.
