Recombinant Canine KIT Ligand
Stem Cell Factor, SCF
Mast Cell Growth Factor, MGF, MCGF
Familial Progressive Hyperpigmentation 2, FPH2
KIT Ligand (KITLG), also called Stem Cell Factor (SCF) which binds to the c-Kit receptor is produced by fibroblasts and endothelial cells. The soluble and transmembrane forms of the protein are formed by alternative splicing of the same RNA transcript and the presence of both soluble and transmembrane SCF is required for normal hematopoietic function. SCF plays an important role in hematopoiesis, spermatogenesis and melanogenesis and it promotes mast cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and survival. Soluble canine SCF shares 76-93% amino acid sequence identity with many other species, including human, mouse, rat and equine. Cells known to express SCF include endothelial cells, fibroblasts and keratinocytes.
