Stem cell factor (SCF), as a key ligand of KIT, regulates cell survival, proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration, and melanogenesis. Binding to KIT activates signaling pathways involving phosphorylation events, key kinases (AKT1, RAS, RAF1, MAPK1/ERK2, MAPK3/ERK1), STAT family members, and PLCG1. SCF Protein, Rat (His) is the recombinant rat-derived SCF protein, expressed by E. coli with C-6*His labeled tag.
