CD117 (CHGA) Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

C-Kit is the receptor tyrosine kinase for stem cell factor (SCF) and is a member of the subfamily that includes PDGF, CSF-1 and flt-3/flk-2 receptors (1,2). It plays critical controlling roles in a number of cell types such as hematopoietic stem cells, mast cells, melanocytes and germ cells (3). Upon binding with its ligand, c-Kit receptors are induced undergoing dimerization/ oligomerization and autophosphorylation. Activation of c-Kit results in the recruitment and tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream SH2-containing signaling components including PLCg, p85 subunit of PI3 kinase, SHP2 and CrkL (4), which links c-Kit directly to various cell signaling pathways. Molecular lesions that impair the kinase activity of c-Kit are associated with a variety of developmental disorders (5), while mutations that constitutively activate c-Kit can lead to pathogenesis of mastocytosis and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (6). Tyr719 is located in the kinase insert region of the catalytic domain. c-Kit phosphorylated at Tyr719 binds to the p85 subunit of PI3 kinase in vitro and in vivo (7).

Small volumes of anti-CHGA antibody vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.
