SCGF-α and -β are hematopoietic growth factors that exert their activity at early stages of hematopoiesis. The SCGFs are non-glycosylated, species-specific cytokines that can support growth of primitive hematopoietic cells, and, in combination with EPO or GM-CSF, promote proliferation of erythroid or myeloid progenitors, respectively. Recombinant Human SCGF-α is a 33.9 kDa polypeptide containing 305 amino acid residues.

Purity: ≥ 98% by SDS-PAGE gel and HPLC analyses.

Biological Activity: Determined by its inhibitory effect on the proliferation of TF-1 cells previously grown in media containing GM-CSF. The ED₅₀ for this effect was observed at ≤ 2.5 ng/ml.
