Recombinant Human Stem Cell Factor (SCF) is a bioactive protein intended for use in cell culture applications. SCF is a pleiotropic factor that acts
in utero in germ cell and neural cell development and hematopoiesis. These activities are all believed to reflect a role in cell migration. In adults, it functions pleiotropically, while mostly noted for its continued requirement in hematopoiesis. The lyophilized,
E. coli-expressed SCF Recombinant Human is verified for activity through dose-dependent proliferation of human MO-7e cells.

Highly Pure—minimizes interference from other proteins or contaminants
•
Active—get more results with less protein
High PurityTo help verify that GIBCO™ Recombinant growth factors are of the highest quality, each protein is analyzed for purity, along with structural homogeneity, to help ensure a biologically active protein. The purity of each GIBCO™ recombinant growth factor is verified by SDS-PAGE to be over 95% and to have endotoxin levels below 0.1 ng/μg.
High Biological ActivityAll GIBCO™ Recombinant growth factors are verified for activity. Each lot has its own ED50 determined using an activity assay based on a specific function of the growth factor. The activity of our SCF Recombinant Human growth factor is determined by the dose-dependent proliferation of human MO-7e cells to have an ED50 range of 2–10 ng/mL (specific activity: 5 × 10
5–1 × 10
5 units/mg). Optimal concentration for individual applications should be determined by a dose response assay.
