other info1 :
Protein Type: Recombinant. Biological Significance: SCF is a hematopoietic growth factor that exerts its activity by signaling through the c-Kit receptor. SCF and c-Kit are essential for the survival, proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic cells committed to the melanocyte and germ cell lineages. Human SCF manifests low activity on Mouse cells, while Mouse and rat SCF are fully active on human cells. Bioactivity: The ED50 as determined by the dose-dependent stimulation of the proliferation of the human TF-1 cells is 1 x 10^5 units/mg. Endotoxin Levels: Endotoxin level is less than 0.1 ng per ug (1 EU/ug).

ncbi summary :
This gene encodes the ligand of the tyrosine-kinase receptor encoded by the KIT locus. This ligand is a pleiotropic factor that acts in utero in germ cell and neural cell development, and hematopoiesis, all believed to reflect a role in cell migration. In adults, it functions pleiotropically, while mostly noted for its continued requirement in hematopoiesis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

uniprot summary :
SCF: Ligand for the receptor-type protein-tyrosine kinase KIT. Plays an essential role in the regulation of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration and function, and in melanogenesis. KITLG/SCF binding can activate several signaling pathways. Promotes phosphorylation of PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and subsequent activation of the kinase AKT1. KITLG/SCF and KIT also transmit signals via GRB2 and activation of RAS, RAF1 and the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1. KITLG/SCF and KIT promote activation of STAT family members STAT1, STAT3 and STAT5. KITLG/SCF and KIT promote activation of PLCG1, leading to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5- trisphosphate. KITLG/SCF acts synergistically with other cytokines, probably interleukins. Homodimer, non-covalently linked (Probable). Heterotetramer with KIT, binding two KIT molecules; thereby mediates KIT dimerization and subsequent activation by autophosphorylation. Belongs to the SCF family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Protein type: Membrane protein, integral. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 12q22. Cellular Component: extracellular space; cytoskeleton; cytoplasm; extracellular region; integral to membrane; plasma membrane. Molecular Function: protein binding; growth factor activity; cytokine activity; stem cell factor receptor binding. Biological Process: epidermal growth factor receptor signaling pathway; phosphoinositide-mediated signaling; fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway; nerve growth factor receptor signaling pathway; embryonic hemopoiesis; germ cell programmed cell death; male gonad development; signal transduction; cell proliferation; positive regulation of MAP kinase activity; positive regulation of peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; negative regulation of mast cell apoptosis; positive regulation of melanocyte differentiation; innate immune response; positive regulation of myeloid leukocyte differentiation; positive regulation of Ras protein signal transduction; cell adhesion; neural crest cell migration; positive regulation of DNA replication.
