Description
Product Characteristics: The kit is a sandwich enzyme immunoassay for in vitro quantitative measurement of SCF in mouse serum, plasma, tissue homogenates, cell lysates, cell culture supernates.
Target Information: 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.
