CD117/c-kit Protein, Mouse (495a.a, HEK293, Fc)

CD117/c-Kit protein is a tyrosine protein kinase that acts as a cell surface receptor for KITLG/SCF and regulates cell survival, proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration, function, and melanogenesis .CD117/c-kit Protein, Mouse (495a.a, HEK293, Fc) is the recombinant mouse-derived CD117/c-kit protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-hFc labeled tag.

The CD117/c-Kit protein is a tyrosine-protein kinase that serves as a cell-surface receptor for the cytokine KITLG/SCF. It plays a crucial role in regulating cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration, function, and melanogenesis. Upon binding to KITLG/SCF, CD117/c-Kit activates multiple signaling pathways, including PI3K/AKT, GRB2/RAS/RAF/MAPK, and STAT. This leads to the phosphorylation of various downstream effectors such as PIK3R1, PLCG1, SH2B2/APS, CBL, and transcription factors STAT1, STAT3, STAT5A, and STAT5B. Activation of PLCG1 results in the production of diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate, important cellular signaling molecules. CD117/c-Kit signaling is regulated by protein phosphatases, rapid internalization, and degradation of the receptor. Additionally, it promotes the phosphorylation of PTPN6/SHP-1, PTPRU, and other proteins like CRK, LYN, SRC, and SHC1.
