Overview
SCF exists in two biologically active splice forms: a soluble and a transmembrane isoform. Upon binding to its receptor (c-Kit tyrosine kinase receptor; CD117), it activates PI3K, JAK/STAT, and MAPK pathways. SCF and signaling from c-Kit have also been reported to play an important role in pigmentation, fertility, vasculogenesis, motility of the gut via c-Kit positive interstitial cells of Cajal, and in the migration of neuronal stem and progenitor cells to sites of injury in the brain.
Data Figures

(A) The biological activity of Human Recombinant SCF was tested by its ability to promote the proliferation of TF-1 cells. Cell proliferation
was measured after 72 hours of culture using a fluorometric assay method. The EC50 is defined as the effective concentration of the
growth factor at which cell proliferation is at 50% of maximum. The EC50 in the above example is 1 ng/mL.
(B) 1 ÎĽg of Human Recombinant SCF was resolved with SDS-PAGE under reducing (+) and non-reducing (-) conditions and visualized by
Coomassie Blue staining. Human Recombinant SCF has a predicted molecular mass of 18.6 kDa.
