Product Overview
Clone CGF-11 is a rabbit monoclonal antibody that recognizes mast/stem cell growth factor receptor Kit in human samples and is validated for Western blot and IHC. The predicted molecular weight is 109.9 kDa, and the supplier reports an observed band at about 145 kDa.
KIT (CD117) is a receptor tyrosine kinase activated by stem cell factor (SCF). It supports the survival and proliferation of hematopoietic stem cells, mast cells, melanocytes and germ cells, and activating KIT mutations drive gastrointestinal stromal tumors and some mast cell and blood cancers.

Validated Applications
| Western blot | 1:500–1:2000 |
|---|---|
| Immunohistochemistry | 1:50–1:200 |
Samples with a confirmed band (WB): human HEL cells, human RT4 cells.
Recommended loading (WB): 20–40 µg of total protein per lane.
Conditions in the example images (WB): 5–20% gradient SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, 30 µg lysate per lane, transfer to nitrocellulose membrane, blocking in 5% non-fat milk, primary antibody at 1:1000 overnight at 4 °C, HRP-conjugated secondary antibody at 1:500, ECL detection.
Samples with confirmed staining (IHC): human breast cancer tissue.
Recommended antigen retrieval: heat-mediated, in TE buffer (pH 9.0); citrate buffer (pH 6.0) can be used instead.
Immunogen
Synthetic peptide based on the sequence of human c-Kit.
Reactivity Notes
The supplier lists reactivity with human. Tissue expression noted by UniProt (human): In testis, detected in spermatogonia in the basal layer and in interstitial Leydig cells but not in Sertoli cells or spermatocytes inside the seminiferous tubules (at protein level). The samples tested by the supplier (listed above) are a practical starting point for positive controls.

Customization & Add-ons: Can’t find the antibody you need—or require a custom format for your assay? We can help you source the best match or support custom antibody solutions for diverse research needs, including species and isotype selection, conjugations and labeling (e.g., HRP/AP, biotin, fluorophores), purification grade options (Protein A/G, affinity purified), formulation preferences (buffer selection, carrier-free, glycerol-free), custom concentrations and aliquoting, low-endotoxin options for cell-based work, and application-focused QC/validation support (project dependent).
