Summary |
Stem Cell Factor (SCF) which binds to the c-Kit receptor is produced by fibroblasts and endothelial cells. The soluble and transmembrane forms of the protein are formed by alternative splicing of the same RNA transcript and the presence of both soluble and transmembrane It is required for normal hematopoietic function and plays an important role in hematopoiesis, spermatogenesis, and melanogenesis. It also promotes mast cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and survival. |
Source |
Escherichia coli. |
Molecular Weight |
Approximately 18.4 kDa, a single non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 165 amino acids. |
Biological Activity |
Fully biologically active when compared to standard. The ED50 as determined by a cell proliferation assay using human TF-1 cells is less than 10 ng/ml, corresponding to a specific activity of > 1.0 × 105 IU/mg. |
Appearance |
Sterile filtered white lyophilized (freeze-dried) powder. |
Formulation |
Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. |
Endotoxin |
Less than 1 EU/ug of rMuSCF as determined by LAL method. |
Reconstitution |
We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1 % BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20 °C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. |
Stability and 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. |
