Gene information for KIT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3815
Official gene symbolKIT
Full namev-kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene homolog
Aliases,C-Kit,CD117,PBT,SCFR,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the human homolog of the proto-oncogene c-kit. C-kit was first identified as the cellular homolog of the feline sarcoma viral oncogene v-kit. This protein is a type 3 transmembrane receptor for MGF (mast cell growth factor, also known as stem cell factor). Mutations in this gene are associated with gastrointestinal stromal tumors, mast cell disease, acute myelogenous lukemia, and piebaldism. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
