KITLG

This gene encodes the ligand of the tyrosine-kinase receptor encoded by the KIT locus. This ligand is a pleiotropic factor that acts in utero in germ cell and neural cell development, and hematopoiesis, all believed to reflect a role in cell migration. In adults, it functions pleiotropically, while mostly noted for its continued requirement in hematopoiesis. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
Protein class

Cancer-related genes, Disease related genes, Human disease related genes, Plasma proteins, RAS pathway related proteins

Predicted location

Intracellular, Membrane (different isoforms)

Single cell type specificity

Cell type enhanced (Basal squamous epithelial cells, Collecting duct cells, Inhibitory neurons, Excitatory neurons)

Immune cell specificity

Not detected in immune cells

Cell line specificity

Cell line enhanced (CACO-2, SK-BR-3)

Interaction

Homodimer, non-covalently linked (Probable). Heterotetramer with KIT, binding two KIT molecules; thereby mediates KIT dimerization and subsequent activation by autophosphorylation.

Molecular function

Growth factor
