Recombinant Biotinylated Human SCF / KITLG Protein, Avi Tag (Avitag™), His tag, 25µg

Background
Kit ligand (KITLG) is also known as stem cell factor (SCF), mast cell growth factor (MGF), steel factor (SF), which belongs to the SCF family, and is a widely expressed 28 - 40 kDa type I transmembrane glycoprotein. KITLG is the ligand for the receptor-type protein-tyrosine kinase KIT. SCF / MGF 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. KITLG / SF 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.

Source
Recombinant Biotinylated Human SCF, Avitag,His Tag (SCF-H82E1) is expressed from human 293 cells (HEK293). It contains AA Glu 26 - Ala 190 (Accession # AAH69797).
Predicted N-terminus: Glu 26

Molecular Characterization
This protein carries an Avi tag (Avitag™) at the C-terminus, followed by a polyhistidine tag.
The protein has a calculated MW of 21.7 kDa. The protein migrates as 26-38 kDa on a SDS-PAGE gel under reducing (R) condition due to different glycosylation.

Biotinylation
Biotinylation of this product is performed using Avitag™ technology. Briefly, the single lysine residue in the Avitag is enzymatically labeled with biotin.

Biotin:Protein Ratio
Passed as determined by the HABA assay / binding ELISA.

Endotoxin
Less than 1.0 EU per μg by the LAL method.
 
Purity
>95% as determined by SDS-PAGE.

Formulation
Lyophilized from 0.22 μm filtered solution in PBS, pH7.4. Normally trehalose is added as protectant before lyophilization.

Reconstitution
Please see Certificate of Analysis for specific instructions.
For best performance, we strongly recommend you to follow the reconstitution protocol provided in the CoA.

Storage
