Target Function Stem Cell Factor (SCF) plays an important role acting on progenitor cells in hematopoiesis, germ cell development, and melanogenesis. SCF not only has a role in expansion and differentiation of stem cells but is an important factor in preventing apoptosis and promoting self-renewal and survival of stem cells. The receptor for SCF is c-KIT (CD117). c-Kit expression is lost during differentiation of hematopoietic cells, with the exception of mast cells. SCF induces mast cell proliferation and histamine release.
Tissue Specificity SCF expression has been reported in skin (particularly in basal layer of the epidermis), stomach, intestines, testes, ovaries, brain, thymus and lymph nodes.
Cellular Localization Membrane-bound and cleaved soluble protein forms
Involvement In Disease Dysregulation of SCF has been implicated in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), leukemia, melanomas, breast cancer, aplastic anemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, mastocytosis, pigmentation disorders (piebaldism and Waardenburg syndrome), gonadal dysgenesis, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, and allergic asthma.

Proteins are sensitive to heat, and freeze-drying can preserve the activity of the majority of proteins. It improves protein stability, extends storage time, and reduces shipping costs. However, freeze-drying can also lead to the loss of the active portion of the protein and cause aggregation and denaturation issues. Nonetheless, these adverse effects can be minimized by incorporating protective agents such as stabilizers, additives, and excipients, and by carefully controlling various lyophilization conditions.

Commonly used protectant include saccharides, polyols, polymers, surfactants, some proteins and amino acids etc. We usually add 8% (mass ratio by volume) of trehalose and mannitol as lyoprotectant. Trehalose can significantly prevent the alter of the protein secondary structure, the extension and aggregation of proteins during freeze-drying process; mannitol is also a universal applied protectant and fillers, which can reduce the aggregation of certain proteins after lyophilization.

Our protein products do not contain carrier protein or other additives (such as bovine serum albumin (BSA), human serum albumin (HSA) and sucrose, etc., and when lyophilized with the solution with the lowest salt content, they often cannot form A white grid structure, but a small amount of protein is deposited in the tube during the freeze-drying process, forming a thin or invisible transparent protein layer.

Reminder: Before opening the tube cap, we recommend that you quickly centrifuge for 20-30 seconds in a small centrifuge, so that the protein attached to the tube cap or the tube wall can be aggregated at the bottom of the tube. Our quality control procedures ensure that each tube contains the correct amount of protein, and although sometimes you can't see the protein powder, the amount of protein in the tube is still very precise.
