When recombinant mouse SCF (2 µg/mL, Cat. No. 579702) is immobilized, mouse CD117-Fc Chimera binds in a dose-dependent manner with EC50 of 20 - 80 ng/mL. HRP Goat anti-mouse IgG (minimal x-reactivity) antibody (Cat. No. 405306) was used to detect the binding. -
Stability Testing for Mouse CD117-Fc Chimera. Recombinant mouse SCF was aliquoted in PBS at 0.2 mg/mL. One aliquot was frozen and thawed four times (4x Freeze/Thaw) and compared to a control kept at 4°C (Control). The samples were tested in a binding assay with recombinant mouse SCF.

CD117 is a 145 kD protein tyrosine kinase also known as c-Kit and stem cell factor receptor (SCFR). It belongs to CSF-1/PDGF receptor subfamily. CD117 is a receptor for stem cell factor (SCF) or c-Kit ligand. CD117 is expressed on pluripotent hematopoietic progenitor cells, mast cells, and acute myeloid leukemia cells (AML). c-Kit ligand binding of CD117 induces dimerization and phosphorylation of CD117, and activates the downstream signaling, including PI3K, JAK/STAT, PLC-γ and MAPK pathways. Consequently, it stimulates proliferation and survival of primitive hematopoietic stem cells as well as erythroid-committed and granulo-monocytic committed cells. The turnover rate of CD117 depends on ligand binding and its kinase activity. CD117 is also downregulated by PKC-mediated proteolytic cleavage. Additionlly, ADAM-17 mediates shedding of CD117 on the surface of mast cells. SCF/CD117 ligation protects vascular smooth musle cells against apoptosis and increases hyperplasia after vascular injury. The ligation also regulates cell survival and cell infiltration of mast cells in tumor microenviroment. Some evidence indicates that CD117 constitutively associates with interleukin-1 receptor accessory protein (IL-1RAcP), and activates IL-33-induced cytokine production upon costimulation with c-Kit ligand in primary mast cells. CD117 is upregulated on dendritic cells by house dust mite allergen and mucosal adjuvant cholera toxin (CT), and consequently regulates Th2's and Th17's responses.
Product Details
- Source
- Mouse CD117, amino acid Ser25-Thr523 (Accession: #P05532.3), with a linker (GS) and a C-terminal mouse IgG2a (Glu28-Lys330), was expressed in CHO cells.
- Molecular Mass
- The 737 amino acid recombinant protein has a predicted molecular mass of approximately 82.29 kD. The DTT-reduced and non-reduced protein migrates at approximately 100 kD and 200 kD by SDS-PAGE, respectively. The predicted N-terminal amino acid is Ser.
- Purity
- > 95%, as determined by Coomassie stained SDS-PAGE
- Formulation
- 0.22 µm filtered protein solution is in PBS.
- Endotoxin Level
- Less than 0.01 ng per µg cytokine as determined by the LAL method
- Concentration
- 10 and 25 µg sizes are bottled at 200 µg/mL. 100 µg size and larger sizes are lot-specific and bottled at the concentration indicated on the vial. To obtain lot-specific concentration and expiration, please enter the lot number in our Certificate of Analysis online tool.
- 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% 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 and stored at -20°C or colder for up to 3 months. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles.
- Activity
- When recombinant mouse SCF (2 µg/mL, Cat. No. 579702) is immobilized at 2 µg/mL, recombinant mouse CD117-Fc Chimera binds in a dose dependent manner. The EC50 range for this effect is 20 - 80 ng/mL. HRP goat anti-mouse IgG (minimal x-reactivity) antibody (Cat. No. 405306) was used to detect the binding.
