• Sequence Length: 273

• Domain: Four helix core
• Host Note: Optimized DNA sequence encoding Mouse SCF mature chain was expressed in Insect cells.
• Endotoxin: Endotoxin content was assayed using a LAL gel clot method.; Endotoxin level was found to be less than 0.1 ng/ug (1EU/ug).
• Reconstitution: A quick spin of the vial followed by reconstitution in distilled water to a concentration not less than 0.1 mg/mL. This solution can then be diluted into other buffers.
• Molecular Weight Note: Native Mouse Stem Cell Factor is generated by the proteolytic removal of the signal peptide and propeptide, the molecule has a calculated molecular mass of approximately 18 kDa.; ; Recombinant SCF is a disulfide-linked monomer protein consisting of 165 amino acid residue subunits, and due to glycosylation migrates as an approximately 23 kDa protein under non-reducing and reducing conditions in SDS-PAGE.
• Preparation and Storage: The lyophilized protein is stable for at least 2 years from date of receipt at -20 degree C.; Upon reconstitution, this cytokine can be stored in working aliquots at 2 degree - 8 degree C for one month, or at -20 degree C for six months, with a carrier protein without detectable loss of activity. ; ; Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.

Related Product Information for SCF recombinant protein

SCF is a stromal cell- derived cytokine synthesized by fibroblasts and other cell types. SCF promotes proliferation and early differentiation of cells at the level of multipotential stem cells. It has been suggested that SCF is essential for optimal production of various hematopoietic lineages, mainly because of its ability to prevent apoptosis when it co- stimulates with other cytokines. The receptor for SCF, designated SCFR (CD117), is the oncogene designated as KIT. The biological activities of SCF are synergised considerably by colony stimulating factors GM-CSF and G-CSF, and also by IL7, Epo and some other growth and differentiation factors. In combination with IL7 SCF stimulates the proliferation of pre-B-cells. SCF is also a potent chemoattractant for cells (see also: Chemotaxis), for example, mast cells, expressing the kit receptor. One response to SCF in these cells is a characteristic rearrangement of the actin filaments of the cytoskeleton.
