Stem cell factor (SCF), otherwise known as KIT ligand or Steel factor[Freshney, Ian R. "Culture of Animal Cells: A manual of basic technique". John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, New Jersey. ISBN 13 978-0-471-45329-1] ,is a cytokine which binds CD117 (c-Kit). SCF is also known as "steel factor" or "c-kit ligand". SCF exists in two forms, cell surface bound SCF and soluble (or free) SCF. Soluble SCF is produced by the cleavage of surface bound SCF by metalloproteases.]SCF is a growth factor important for the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of hematopoietic stem cells and other hematopoietic progenitor cells. One of its roles is to change the BFU-E(burst-forming unit-erythroid) cells, which are the earliest erythrocyte precursors in the erythrocytic series, into the CFU-E (colony-forming unit-erythroid) [Dorlands|u_02|12836993] . SCF, along with bFGF (basic fibroblast growth factor) and LIF (lymphocyte inhibitory factor), prevents spontaneous differentiation of primitive embryonic stem cells in cell culture[Freshney, Ian R. "Culture of Animal Cells: A manual of basic technique". John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, New Jersey. ISBN 13 978-0-471-45329-1] .]Ancestim is a recombinant form of SCF.[cite journal |author=da Silva MG, Pimentel P, Carvalhais A, "et al" |title=Ancestim (recombinant human stem cell factor, SCF) in association with filgrastim does not enhance chemotherapy and/or growth factor-induced peripheral blood progenitor cell (PBPC) mobilization in patients with a prior insufficient PBPC collection |journal=Bone Marrow Transplant. |volume=34 |issue=8 |pages=683–91 |year=2004 |pmid=15322567 |doi=10.1038/sj.bmt.1704602] ]References
