Clone Number: T595
Immunogen: Prokaryotic recombinant protein corresponding to the three N-terminal C2-like extracellular domains of the human c-kit oncoprotein molecule.
Concentration: Greater than or equal to 30 mg/L
Storage buffer: Tissue culture supernatant with sodium azide
Additional info: The c-kit proto-oncogene encodes a transmembrane receptor with tyrosine kinase activity, c-kit (CD117), which is closely-related to the platelet-derived growth factor receptor family. c-kit plays a role during hematopoiesis, gametogenesis and melanogenesis. The expression of CD117 antigen is of particular interest in the study of gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST), small lung cell carcinomas and in melanomas.
