Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is a hematopoietic growth factor that exerts its activity at the early stages of hematopoiesis. SCF stimulates the proliferation of myeloid, erythroid, and lymphoid progenitors in bone marrow cultures and has been shown to act synergistically with colony stimulating factors. Murine SCF is an 18.3kD protein containing 164 amino acid residues (secreted soluble form).AA Sequence :MKEICGNPVT DNVKDITKLV ANLPNDYMIT LNYVAGMDVL PSHCWLRDMV IQLSLSLTTL LDKFSNISEG LSNYSIIDKL GKIVDDLVLC MEENAPKNIK ESPKRPETRS FTPEEFFSIF NRSIDAFKDF MVASDTSDCV LSSTLGPEKD SRVSVTKPFM LPPVABiological Activity:The ED50, determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of the human TF-1 cells is ≤10ng/ml corresponding to a specific activity of ≥1x10e5u/mg. For most in vitro applications, SCF exerts its biological activity in the range of 1-100ng/ml.Storage and Stability: Lyophilized powder may be stored at -20°C. Stable for 12 months at -20°C.
