Target Information

Stem cell factor (SCF) is the ligand of the c-Kit oncogene and is expressed by various structural and inflammatory cells in the airways. Binding of SCF by the c-Kit receptor leads to receptor homodimerization and activation of signaling pathways such as PI-3, PLC-gamma, Jak/STAT, and MAP kinase. SCF expression induces mast cell survival and the release of histamine, pro-inflammatory cytokines, and chemokines. Inhibition of the SCF/c-Kit pathway decreases histamine levels, mast cell and eosinophil infiltration, IL-4 production, and airway hyperresponsiveness, suggesting potential therapeutic relevance in inflammatory diseases such as asthma. At least two isoforms of SCF are known to exist.
