  FC experiment of mouse bone marrow cells using APC-65054

  1x10^6 mouse bone marrow cells were surface stained with 0.4 ug APC Anti-Mouse CD117/c-Kit (2B8) (APC-65054, Clone: 2B8) or 0.4 ug APC Rat IgG2b Isotype Control (LTF-2) (APC-65211, Clone: LTF-2). Cells were co-stained with PE Anti-Mouse CD45R (B220) (RA3-6B2) (PE-65139, Clone: RA3-6B2). Cells were not fixed.

Background Information

CD117, also known as c-Kit and SCFR, is a transmembrane protein with tyrosine kinase activity encoded by the oncogene c-kit (PMID: 2448137). It is a member of the type III receptor tyrosine kinase family, which also includes CSF-1R, PDGFRβ, PDGFRα, and FLT3 (PMID: 29518044). CD117 is expressed on hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor cells, mast cells, and is also found in a wide range of non-haemopoietic cell types (including melanocytes, germ cells, astrocytes, renal tubules, breast glandular epithelial cells, sweat glands, and interstitial cells of Cajal) (PMID: 10582338; 23073628). CD117 plays an important role in early haemopoiesis. It is also involved in pigmentation, fertility, gut movement, and some aspects of the nervous system (PMID: 23073628).
