SCF is expressed in fibroblasts, liver cells, Sertoli cells, endothelial cells, neurons, macrophages, oocytes, Schwann cells and numerous carcinoma cell lines. SCF can be found as a cell membrane protein or as a soluble protein after secretion due to proteolytic processing in the extracellular domain. Both forms have growth factor activities; however the membrane form is also important for cell-cell adhesion and interaction.\u003cbr\u003e\nSoluble SCF is a heavily N- and O-glycosylated protein that exists as a non-covalently linked homodimer or as a heterotetramer with its receptor. Binding to the receptor, results in KIT activation by autophosphorylation. This leads to multiple signaling cascades (via AKT, GRB2, RAS, MAPK amongst others) that are important in the regulation of cell survival, proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration, melanogenesis and neurite-inductive activity of dorsal root ganglia neurons.\u003cbr\u003e\nGenetic defects in SCF are the cause of familial progressive hyperpigmentation (melanosis universalis hereditaria). SCF has also been involved in other conditions such as mastocytosis, mast cell leukemia, myeloid leukemia, aplastic anemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nStem Cell Factor (SCF) also known as kit ligand c-kit ligand or KITLG is a critical protein involved in cell signaling. It usually appears as a 30 kDa glycoprotein. SCF is widely expressed in various tissues including the bone marrow brain and fetal liver. Its major mechanical function is to bind to the c-KIT receptor triggering various intracellular pathways that influence cell proliferation survival and differentiation. Aside from its other names SCF in mouse plasma is often monitored including in assays like c-kit ligand ELISA.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nSCF acts as an indispensable growth factor promoting hematopoiesis and melanogenesis. It plays a significant role in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells and mast cells. SCF and its receptor c-KIT form a complex that activates signaling pathways essential for these processes. This protein is also involved in gametogenesis by aiding the proliferation and survival of primordial germ cells. SCF's action is not limited to mammals as studies demonstrate its activity in other species like mouse SCF.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSCF impacts multiple important biological systems by engaging with c-KIT. The SCF\/c-KIT interaction contributes to the MAPK\/ERK pathway influencing cell division and growth. It also plays a role in the PI3K\/AKT pathway that governs cell survival. Beyond its direct association with c-KIT SCF's involvement in these pathways connects it to several other proteins like RAS and PI3K which are important for signal transduction.\u003cbr\u003e\nSCF has associations with several pathological conditions. Dysregulation of the SCF\/c-KIT pathway can lead to disorders like mastocytosis and certain leukemias. The overactivation or mutations in c-KIT are often implicated in these diseases due to its cooperative action with SCF. Additionally aberrant SCF signaling can contribute to the progression of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) where c-KIT has known relevance. Understanding SCF's role can therefore provide insights into diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for these conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843646378153,"sku":"ab176109","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab176109","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
