SCF (KITLG) Antibody (C-term) Blocking peptide

Background:
KITLG is the ligand of the tyrosine-kinase receptor encoded by the KIT locus. This ligand is a pleiotropic factor that acts in utero in germ cell and neural cell development, and hematopoiesis, all believed to reflect a role in cell migration. In adults, it functions pleiotropically, while mostly noted for its continued requirement in hematopoiesis.

Other Names:
Kit ligand, Mast cell growth factor, MGF, Stem cell factor, SCF, c-Kit ligand, Soluble KIT ligand, sKITLG, KITLG, MGF, SCF

Target/Specificity:
The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP1484b was selected from the C-term region of human KITLG. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay.
