Anti-phospho-CD117, (Tyr719) (c-kit, Stem Cell Factor, SCF Receptor, Steel Factor Receptor, Mast Cel

c Kit, also known as CD117 and stem cell factor receptor, is a 145kD transmembrane tyrosine kinase encoded by the c Kit 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. c Kit mutations correlate with tumor growth and progression in a variety of cancers including mast cell disease, gastrointestinal stromal tumor, acute myeloid leukemia, Ewing sarcoma, and lung cancer. Phosphorylation at tyrosine 936 of c Kit allows binding of Grb2 and activation of the Ras, Raf, ERK1&2 signaling pathway. Applications: Suitable for use in ELISA. Other applications not tested.
