CD117 Antibody C117/6347 / c-Kit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes KIT, a receptor tyrosine kinase commonly known as CD117, c-Kit and the stem cell factor receptor. KIT belongs to the type III receptor tyrosine kinase family and consists of an extracellular ligand-binding region, a single transmembrane segment and an intracellular split kinase domain. Its ligand, stem cell factor, regulates KIT-dependent signaling in several cell populations involved in development, hematopoiesis and tissue homeostasis.
Binding of stem cell factor promotes KIT receptor dimerization and activation of its intracellular kinase domain. Subsequent receptor phosphorylation creates docking sites for signaling proteins that connect KIT with pathways including PI3K/AKT, RAS/MAPK and JAK/STAT signaling. Through these networks, KIT contributes to cellular proliferation, survival, differentiation and migration. Tight regulation of receptor abundance and kinase activity is therefore important for normal cellular function.
CD117 is an established marker associated with hematopoietic progenitor cells, mast cells, melanocytes and germ cells. KIT signaling is important for normal hematopoiesis, mast cell development, pigmentation and gametogenesis. The receptor is also widely studied in stem and progenitor cell biology, where CD117 expression is frequently used as part of phenotypic characterization strategies.
Altered KIT signaling is particularly important in cancer research. Activating KIT mutations and abnormal receptor signaling occur in gastrointestinal stromal tumors and subsets of other malignancies. CD117 expression is consequently investigated in studies of tumor biology and diagnostic marker expression, while KIT kinase activity is an established target of small-molecule inhibitors. A c-Kit Monoclonal Antibody can therefore support research spanning receptor signaling, hematopoietic biology and oncology.
NSJ Bioreagents offers CD117 Antibody clone C117/6347 for research into KIT expression and biology. CD117, c-Kit and Stem Cell Factor Receptor terminology all refer to the same receptor and are commonly encountered across hematology, cell signaling and cancer research literature.
A CD117 Antibody provides a reagent for investigating KIT expression, stem cell factor receptor biology, hematopoietic development and the dysregulated signaling associated with KIT-driven disease.
This CD117 Antibody is part of our CD Antibodies collection.
