Target Information
Equine kit ligand, also known as stem cell factor (SCF), is a cytokine that binds to the CD117 (c-Kit) receptor and is crucial for the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and other hematopoietic progenitor cells. It plays a significant role in the early stages of hematopoiesis, particularly in the transition of BFU-E (burst-forming unit-erythroid) cells, the earliest erythrocyte precursors, into CFU-E (colony-forming unit-erythroid) cells. SCF, along with other growth factors, helps prevent the spontaneous differentiation of primitive embryonic stem cells in culture, highlighting its importance in maintaining stem cell pluripotency and regulating cell fate decisions.
