SCF (stem cell factor) is a growth factor secreted from fibroblasts and endothelial cells. SCF binds to a receptor known as c-Kit and is thought to play an important role in the survival, proliferation and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells. Recombinant Human SCF is an 18.5 kDa polypeptide containing 164 amino acid residues, which corresponds to the sequence of the secreted soluble form of SCF.
