Name :
Human SCF/KITL/KITLG/KL/MGF/SLF Protein, ECD (Extracellular Domain), Recombinant

Description :
SCF (stem cell factor), also known as KITL/KITLG/KL (c­kit ligand), MGF (mast cell growth factor), and steel factor (SLF), is a single-pass type I transmembrane protein belonging to to the SCF family of dimeric transmembrane growth factors. Mature human SCF is composed of a 189 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD), a 23 aa transmembrane segment, and a 36 aa cytoplasmic tail. Proteolytic cleavage releases a 25 kDa soluble protein that shows both N­linked and O­linked glycosylation. SCF is a primary growth factor that promotes the survival, differentiation, and mobilization of multiple cell types, including mast cells, myeloid, erythroid, megakaryocytic, lymphoid, germ cell, eosinophils and melanocytes. For example, mast cell development depends on SCF and its receptor, c-Kit, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase. Mast cells participate in a variety of immune responses, such as parasite resistance and allergic reactions. SCF also increases the proliferation of both myeloid and lymphoid hematopoietic progenitors in bone marrow culture. The noncovalent dimers of transmembrane or soluble form of SCF interact with c­kit to trigger receptor dimerization and signaling activation. SCF may assist in the recovery of cardiac function following myocardial infarction. It also plays a crucial role in the development and maintenance of the melanocyte lineage in adult skin with the potential for CSF-dependent treatment of pathological skin conditions. The mutations in SCF associate wih hyperpigmentation with or without hypopigmentation, familial progressive (FPHH).

Construct Details :
The recombinant human SCF ECD is expressed as a 179 amino acid protein consisting of Glu26 – Gly184 region of SCF220 isoform (UniProt#P21583-2) and a C-terminal poly-His tag, which exists as a monomer under reducing and non-reducing conditions.
