Rat SCF protein

• Catalog Number: orb107801
• Category: Proteins
• Description: Stem Cell Factor (SCF) which binds to the c-Kit receptor is produced by fibroblasts and endothelial cells. The soluble andtransmembrane forms of the protein are formed by alternative splicing of the same RNA transcript and the presence of bothsoluble and transmembrane SCF is required for normal hematopoietic function. SCF plays an important role in hematopoiesis,spermatogenesis, and melanogenesis. In addition, it also promotes mast cell adhesion, migration, proliferation, and survival 3.Rat SCF shares 75% - 90% a.a. sequence identity with canine, feline, mouse, and human SCF. Furthermore, rat SCF is active onmouse and human cells, but human SCF is only weakly active on mouse cells.
