CD117 Antibody [YB5.B8] (PE)

Product Specifications

Background

The YB5.B8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds with human CD117 (c-kit), the 145 kDA receptor for stem cell factor (SCF) or steel factor. This tyrosine kinase protein is expressed mainly on hematopoietic progenitor, mast cells, acute myeloid leukemia cells (AML) . CD117 activation promotes proliferation and cell differentiation on these cell subtypes. A lack or defect of SCF can lead to a decrease in number of hematopoietic progenitor cells and severe anemia.
