  • 6809
Name Mast/stem cell growth factor receptor
Synonyms
  1. CD117 antigen
  2. Proto-oncogene c-Kit
  3. SCFR
  4. Tyrosine-protein kinase Kit
Gene Name KIT
Protein Type Enzyme
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in protein kinase activity
Specific Function This is the receptor for stem cell factor (mast cell growth factor). It has a tyrosine-protein kinase activity. Binding of the ligands leads to the autophosphorylation of KIT and its association with substrates such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (Pi3K)
