SCF murine rec.
Product information "SCF murine rec."
Stem cell factor / KIT ligand (SCF) is a cytokine which binds CD117(c-Kit). SCF is also known as "steel factor" or "c-kit ligand". SCF exists in two forms, cell surface bound SCF and soluble (or free) SCF. Soluble SCF is produced by the cleavage of surface bound SCF by metalloproteases.
SCF is a growth factor important for the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and other hematopoietic progenitor cells. One of its roles is to change the BFU-E (burst-forming unit-erythroid) cells, which are the earliest erythrocyte precursors in the erythrocytic series, into the CFU-E (colony-forming unit-erythroid).
Stem Cell Factor Mouse Recombinant produced in E. coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids and having a molecular mass of 18309 Dalton. The SCF is purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
