KIT antibody

Catalog No. ABIN951159

Product Details anti-KIT Antibody

Target: KIT (Mast/stem Cell Growth Factor Receptor (KIT))

Reactivity: Mouse

Host: Rat

Clonality: Monoclonal

Conjugate: This KIT antibody is un-conjugated

Application: Flow Cytometry (FACS), Immunofluorescence (IF), Immunohistochemistry (Frozen Sections) (IHC (fro))

Specificity: This monoclonal antibody recognizes the receptor tyrosine kinase, c-kit. The ligand for this receptor is steel factor (stem cell factor), which exists in both soluble and membrane form. The interaction between steel factor and c-kit is essential for the development of hematopoietic, gonadal and pigment stem cells. c-kit positive cells are a subset of CD34+ hematopoietic precursor cells and it is expressed on 5-10 % of total adult bone marrow cells.

Purification: Protein G Chromatography.

Immunogen: IL-3 dependent mast cells derived from WB- +/+ mice. Donor: Wistar spleen. Fusion Partner: X63.653. Ag8.

Clone: ACK4

Isotype: IgG2a

Background: C-Kit is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase encoded by the cKit proto oncogene. c-Kit acts to regulate a variety of biological responses including cell proliferation, apoptosis, chemotaxis and adhesion. Ligand binding to the extracellular domain leads to autophosphorylation on several tyrosine residues within the cytoplasmic domain, and activation. Mutations in c-Kit have been found to be important for tumor growth and progression in a variety of cancers including mast cell diseases, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, acute myeloid leukemia, Ewing sarcoma and lung cancer. Phosphorylation at tyrosine 721 of c-Kit allows binding and activation of PI3 kinase.Synonyms: KIT, Mast/stem cell growth factor receptor, Proto-Oncogene Tyrosine-Protein Kinase, SCFR
