Function

Ligand for the receptor-type protein-tyrosine kinase KIT. Plays an essential role in the regulation of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration and function, and in melanogenesis. KITLG/SCF binding can activate several signaling pathways. Promotes phosphorylation of PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and subsequent activation of the kinase AKT1. KITLG/SCF and KIT also transmit signals via GRB2 and activation of RAS, RAF1 and the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1. KITLG/SCF and KIT promote activation of STAT family members STAT1, STAT3 and STAT5. KITLG/SCF and KIT promote activation of PLCG1, leading to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. KITLG/SCF acts synergistically with other cytokines, probably interleukins.

Activity summary

Stem Cell Factor (SCF) also known as kit ligand c-kit ligand or KITLG is a critical protein involved in cell signaling. It usually appears as a 30 kDa glycoprotein. SCF is widely expressed in various tissues including the bone marrow brain and fetal liver. Its major mechanical function is to bind to the c-KIT receptor triggering various intracellular pathways that influence cell proliferation survival and differentiation. Aside from its other names SCF in mouse plasma is often monitored including in assays like c-kit ligand ELISA.

Biological function summary

SCF acts as an indispensable growth factor promoting hematopoiesis and melanogenesis. It plays a significant role in the regulation of hematopoietic stem cells and mast cells. SCF and its receptor c-KIT form a complex that activates signaling pathways essential for these processes. This protein is also involved in gametogenesis by aiding the proliferation and survival of primordial germ cells. SCF's action is not limited to mammals as studies demonstrate its activity in other species like mouse SCF.

Pathways

SCF impacts multiple important biological systems by engaging with c-KIT. The SCF/c-KIT interaction contributes to the MAPK/ERK pathway influencing cell division and growth. It also plays a role in the PI3K/AKT pathway that governs cell survival. Beyond its direct association with c-KIT SCF's involvement in these pathways connects it to several other proteins like RAS and PI3K which are important for signal transduction.

Associated diseases and disorders

SCF has associations with several pathological conditions. Dysregulation of the SCF/c-KIT pathway can lead to disorders like mastocytosis and certain leukemias. The overactivation or mutations in c-KIT are often implicated in these diseases due to its cooperative action with SCF. Additionally aberrant SCF signaling can contribute to the progression of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) where c-KIT has known relevance. Understanding SCF's role can therefore provide insights into diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for these conditions.

    Overlay histogram showing MCF7 cells stained with ab215092 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% formaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab215092, 1/50 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C.

    Isotype control antibody (black line) was Rabbit IgG (monoclonal) Alexa Fluor® 594 (Alexa Fluor® 594 Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab208568) used at the same concentration and conditions as the primary antibody. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control.

    Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 50mW Yellow/Green laser (561nm) and 610/20 bandpass filter.

    This antibody gave a positive signal in MCF7 cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Triton X-100 for 15 min used under the same conditions.
