KIT, also known as CD117 or stem cell factor receptor, is a receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a fundamental role in cell survival, proliferation, and differentiation across multiple biological systems. This proto-oncogene serves as a critical marker for identifying hematopoietic stem cells and progenitor populations, while its dysregulation through mutations or overexpression contributes to the pathogenesis of gastrointestinal stromal tumors, acute myeloid leukemia, and mastocytosis. Understanding KIT signaling pathways remains essential for researchers investigating developmental biology, cancer mechanisms, and stem cell biology.
This recombinant monoclonal antibody, clone 6D4, offers the reproducibility and consistency that demanding research applications require. Produced using recombinant technology with a defined sequence, this antibody eliminates the lot-to-lot variability that can compromise longitudinal studies and multi-site collaborations. The human IgG1 isotype format, combined with affinity chromatography purification, ensures high specificity for your target detection needs.
Validation studies demonstrate reliable performance across complementary experimental platforms. Immunohistochemistry testing on paraffin-embedded human testis tissue using citrate buffer antigen retrieval shows clear specific staining at dilutions between 1:50 and 1:200, enabling visualization of KIT-expressing cells within their native tissue architecture. Flow cytometry analysis using JK cells confirms the antibody's utility for quantitative single-cell analysis, with distinct positive population separation from isotype control at 1:50 to 1:200 dilutions.
Whether you are characterizing tumor specimens for KIT expression patterns, investigating stem cell populations, or exploring signal transduction mechanisms, this antibody provides a dependable tool for advancing your research in cancer biology, immunology, neuroscience, and developmental studies.
