While I don't have a specific answer to your question, the following 
reference has been offered:

	F.H. Martin; "Cell"; volume 63; pgs. 203-211; (1990)

the paraphrased title being "Structural & functional expression of rat &
                             human SCF DNA."

As stated above, we do not know definitively, but indications are that it 
very well may work in murine systems. If you check there was evidently a 
flurry of articles around the same time.

If you are interested in an iodinated SCF (I-125), please get in touch with 
me for further details. (refer to catalog # NEX-283). This one is human,
recombinant.
 
I hope this is of some help.
