SCF (KITL) is a hematopoietic growth factor, and it can synergize with a number of other cytokines to stimulate growth of hematopoietic progenitors in vitro and stimulates blood cell production in vivo. SCF is encoded by Sl ('steel'), a gene critical to the development of several distinct cell lineages during embryonic life. Even though KITL was identified as a soluble protein, the predicted amino acid sequence indicates that it is an integral transmembrane protein. KITL is generated by proteolytic cleavage from a transmembrane precursor. Two splice variants have been described for KITL, and proteolytic processing of both transmembrane protein products occurs on the cell surface. The binding of KITL induces the dimerization of the KIT molecule, followed by a change in the configuration of the intracellular domain and the autophosphorylation of the receptor, opening several docking sites for signal transduction molecules. Dysregulation of SCF–KI signaling and gain-of-function KIT mutations contribute to the genesis of many cancers, like acute myeloid leukemia and gastrointestinal stromal tumors.

Related FAQs
- Do you guarantee that your antibodies are totally pathogen free?
-
BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house aside from the GoInVivo™ product line. However, upon request, this can be tested on a custom basis with an outside, independent laboratory.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody by functional assay?
-
No, BioLegend does not test Ultra-LEAF™ antibodies by functional assays unless otherwise indicated. Due to the possible complexities and variations of uses of biofunctional antibodies in different assays and because of the large product portfolio, BioLegend does not currently perform functional assays as a routine QC for the antibodies. However, we do provide references in which the antibodies were used for functional assays and we do perform QC to verify the specificity and quality of the antibody based on our strict specification criteria.
- Does BioLegend test each Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for potential pathogens?
-
No, BioLegend does not test for pathogens in-house unless otherwise indicated. However, we can recommend an outside vendor to perform this testing as needed.
- Have you tested this Ultra-LEAF™ antibody for in vivo or in vitro applications?
-
We don't test our antibodies for in vivo or in vitro applications unless otherwise indicated. Depending on the product, the TDS may describe literature supporting usage of a particular product for bioassay. It may be best to further consult the literature to find clone specific information.
