Description

Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is initially synthesized as membrane-bound forms of 248 or 220 amino acids, depending on alternative splicing of exon 6. The 248 amino acid form contains a proteolytic cleavage site encoded by exon 6, and it is cleaved from the cell to release an active soluble protein of 165 amino acid residues. Soluble SCF is glycosylated at both N-linked and O-linked sites. MMP-9 plays a physiological role in SCF release from the membrane, and this action plays a significant role in differentiating and mobilizing stem and progenitors cells from the bone marrow. SCF increases the proliferation of myeloid and lymphoid hematopoietic progenitors in bone marrow cultures. SCF/c-kit interaction in mast cells results in mast cell degranulation with release of mediators, such as histamine and inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. Also, activation of c-kit in dendritic cells regulates T helper cell differentiation and allergic asthma. In addition, SCF plays an important role in revascularization of ischemic limbs. Ischemia induces plasma elevation of SCF and thrombopoietin (TPO) and, in lower levels, GM-CSF and erythropoietin (EPO). SCF and TPO induce the release of CXCL12 from platelets, thereby increasing CXCL12 levels in plasma. This results in an extensive mobilization of CXCR4+VEGFR1+ cells (hemangiocytes), accelerating revascularization of the ischemic limbs. SCF binds to its receptor kit that belongs to the type III tyrosine kinase family, whose members include receptors for M-CSF and PDGF.

Molecular Mass
The 165 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 18.6 kD. The DTT-reduced and non-reduced protein migrate at approximately 20 kD and 18 kD respectively by SDS-PAGE. The N-terminal amino acid is Met.
Purity
> 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE
Formulation
0.1 µm filtered protein solution is in PBS.
Endotoxin Level
Less than 0.1 EU per µg protein as determined by the LAL method
Concentration
500 µg/mL
Storage & Handling
Unopened vial can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to 2 weeks, at -20°C for up to six months, or at -70°C or colder until the expiration date. For maximum results, quick spin vial prior to opening. The protein can be aliquoted and stored at -20°C or colder. Stock solutions can also be prepared at 50 - 100 µg/mL in appropriate sterile buffer, carrier protein such as 0.2 - 1% endotoxin-free BSA or HSA can be added when preparing the stock solution. Aliquots can be stored between 2°C and 8°C for up to one week or stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
Activity
ED50 = 3 - 12 ng/mL as determined by its ability to induce proliferation of TF-1 human erythroleukemic cells. Deep Blue Cell Viability™ Kit (Cat. No. 424701) is used to measure the proliferation.
