Description
The YB5.B8 monoclonal antibody specifically binds to CD117. CD117, also known as c-Kit, is a 145 kDa cell-surface glycoprotein with tyrosine kinase activity. CD117 is present on hematopoietic progenitor cell subsets, thymocytes, mast cells, hepatocytes and histiocytes. CD117 serves as a cytokine receptor for steel factor (SLF), also known as stem cell factor (SCF) or mast cell growth factor (MGF). The interaction of c-Kit and SLF is crucial to hematopoiesis, mast cell differentiation, melanogenesis, and germ cell development. The ability of the YB5.B8 antibody to block the binding of c-Kit ligand is still controversial.
