Product Description
Stem Cell Factor (also known as SCF, kit-ligand, KL, or steel factor) is a cytokine that binds to the c-Kit receptor (CD117). It is mapped to 12q21.32. SCF was primarily expressed by perivascular cells throughout the bone marrow, and it plays a role in the regulation of HSCs in the stem cell niche in the bone marrow. SCF can exist both as a transmembrane protein and a soluble protein. This gene plays an important role in the hematopoiesis during embryonic development. During development, the presence of the SCF also plays an important role in the localization of melanocytes, cells that produce melanin and control pigmentation. In addition to it, SCF can promote mast cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and survival. It also promotes the release of histamine and tryptase, which are involved in the allergic response.
