- RM 359 cKit CD 117 extra intra cellular nonhematopoietic auto-phosphorylation
- Product Overview:
c-Kit, also known as CD117, is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase involved in the proliferation, differentiation, and survival of hematopoietic cells.{58189,54662} It is composed of an N-terminal extracellular domain containing five immunoglobulin-like (Ig-like) domains, short transmembrane and juxtamembrane domains, and a C-terminal intracellular region containing the kinase domain. It is expressed in hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, as well as certain non-hematopoietic tissues.{54662} c-Kit is activated by the binding of its ligand, stem cell factor (SCF), to the extracellular region, which induces autophosphorylation and the recruitment of signaling molecules to the intracellular region.{58189} c-Kit signal transduction activates a variety of signaling pathways, including the PI3K/Akt, RAS/MAPK, and JAK/STAT pathways.{58189,54662} Homozygous knockout of Kit, the gene encoding c-Kit, is embryonic lethal, with mice developing severe anemia in utero.{54663} KIT is considered a proto-oncogene and activating mutations have been associated with a variety of cancers.{58189,54662} Cayman’s c-Kit/CD117 (C-Term) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody can be used for immunohistochemistry (IHC) and Western blot (WB) applications.
Cayman Chemical’s mission is to help make research possible by supplying scientists worldwide with the basic research tools necessary for advancing human and animal health. Our utmost commitment to healthcare researchers is to offer the highest quality products with an affordable pricing policy.
Our scientists are experts in the synthesis, purification, and characterization of biochemicals ranging from small drug-like heterocycles to complex biolipids, fatty acids, and many others. We are also highly skilled in all aspects of assay and antibody development, protein expression, crystallization, and structure determination.
Over the past thirty years, Cayman developed a deep knowledge base in lipid biochemistry, including research involving the arachidonic acid cascade, inositol phosphates, and cannabinoids. This knowledge enabled the production of reagents of exceptional quality for cancer, oxidative injury, epigenetics, neuroscience, inflammation, metabolism, and many additional lines of research.
Our organic and analytical chemists specialize in the rapid development of manufacturing processes and analytical methods to carry out clinical and commercial GMP-API production. Pre-clinical drug discovery efforts are currently underway in the areas of bone restoration and repair, muscular dystrophy, oncology, and inflammation. A separate group of Ph.D.-level scientists are dedicated to offering Hit-to-Lead Discovery and Profiling Services for epigenetic targets. Our knowledgeable chemists can be contracted to perform complete sample analysis for analytes measured by the majority of our assays. We also offer a wide range of analytical services using LC-MS/MS, HPLC, GC, and many other techniques.
