Description

Introduction
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).

BP000252-CYT-323: Recombinant Rat Stem Cell Factor (SCF) Protein

Source: E. coli-derived.
A single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 164 amino acids (26-189) and having a molecular mass of 18.4 kDa.
The ED50 is determined by the dose-dependant stimulation of the proliferation of human TF-1 cells which is < 10 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of 100,000 units/mg.
Purity: > 98% by SDS-PAGE and SEC-HPLC.
Formulation: Lyophilized from a concentrated (1 mg/ml) solution in water containing 0.02% NaHCO3.
Reconstitution: It is recommended to reconstitute the lyophilized SCF in sterile 18 M?-cm H2O not less than 100 ug/ml, which can then be further diluted to other aqueous solutions.

Shipping: The product is shipped at ambient temperature. Upon receipt, store it immediately at the temperature recommended below.
Stability & Storage: Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
12 months from date of receipt, -20 to -70°C as supplied.
1 month, 2 to 8°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
3 months, -20 to -70°C under sterile conditions after reconstitution.
