Description:

Stem cell factor (SCF), is a cytokine made by fibroblasts and endothelial cells. SCF binds to the receptor c-Kit/CD117 and plays a critical role in the maintenance, survival, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. While human SCF shows no activity on murine cells, murine and rat SCF are active on human cells.

Reconstitution:

Centrifuge vial prior to opening. Add sterile distilled water to reconstitute to a recommended concentration of 0.1 mg/mL and gently pipet solution up and down sides of vial. DO NOT VORTEX. Allow several minutes for reconstitution.

Storage/Stability:

Store as supplied at -20°C to -80°C for up to 1 year. Upon reconstitution, prepare working aliquots and store at -20°C to -80°C. It is recommended that a carrier protein such as 0.1% HSA or BSA is added for long term storage. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
