v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene-like protein
Background
CD117, also known as c-kit and SCF R, is the cellular receptor for Stem Cell Factor (SCF), also named c-kit ligand, mast cell growth factor, and steel factor. This receptor-ligand system plays essential roles in germ cell development, melanogenesis, hematopoiesis, and oncogenesis. CD117 is expressed on lymphoid, myeloid, erythroid, and megakaryocyte progenitors, NK cells, germ cells, melanocytes, glial cells, vascular smooth muscle cells, placenta, and epithelial cells. Altered levels and mutations in CD117 are associated with several types of cancer including lung, breast, gastrointestinal stromal, and germ cell tumors.

What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
Do you see what I see? I c-Kit The c-Kit (CD117) proto-oncogene is a 145 kD receptor tyrosine kinase family closely related to platelet-derived growth factor receptor (PDGFR). It is a transmembrane receptor and the cellular homolog of the HZ4-feline sarcoma virus transforming gene ... Read full blog post.
