Description
Recombinant Human Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is a multifunctional cytokine produced by fibroblasts and endothelial cells that binds the c-Kit receptor, existing in soluble (~18.5 kDa dimer) and transmembrane forms via alternative splicing.
During development, it regulates hematopoiesis (fetal liver/bone marrow), germ cell and neural development, and melanocyte localization. In adulthood, it maintains hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) homeostasis by governing survival, proliferation, differentiation, and mobilization within the bone marrow niche, while also stimulating mast cell growth.
In vitro, SCF potently synergizes with cytokines like G-CSF, GM-CSF, and IL-3 to stimulate hematopoietic progenitor proliferation and differentiation. In vivo, combined with G-CSF, it clinically enhances peripheral blood CD34+ cell yields by 2–3 fold versus G-CSF alone.
This product is GMP manufactured in mammalian cells with strict control of residuals (host protein, nucleic acid) and pathogens, ensuring full traceability.
