Canine SCF (Stem Cell Factor) ELISA

The Canine SCF ELISA contains capture antibody, standard, and detection antibody for development of a Canine SCF ELISA. The antibodies have been determined to function in an ELISA with the standard provided. Optimal buffers, concentrations, incubation times, incubation temperatures, and methods for the ELISA have not been determined. This allows for complete flexibility to provide optimal dynamic range and sensitivity based on your sample type. The Canine SCF ELISA can also be used to measure Dingo and Red Fox SCF. Alternate names include KITLG, FPH2, FPHH, KL-1, Kitl, MGF, SCF, SF, SHEP7, DCUA, KIT ligand, DFNA69, SLF. The quantities of components provided are not matched. Components may also be purchased separately. For research use only.

Background

SCF (stem cell factor), often known as Kit Ligand, KITL or KITLG, is involved in pathways that control the regulation of cell survival, migration and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, and melanogenesis. The SCF of most vertebrates has a soluble form as well as the membrane bound type I receptor form. Mutations in the SCF pathway may result in a broad range of abnormalities including anemia, and sterility. SCF and KIT interaction has been shown to promote the growth of cancer cells and organoids in culture, and xenograft tumors in mice. SCF is being utilized in many animal model systems, from metastasis research in breast tumor-bearing arthritic mice to the genetic linkage to de-pigmentation in pigs. Interestingly, a second SCF pathway was retained in zebrafish, after a whole genome duplication, and is now undergoing divergent evolution.
