Mutations of the receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit or its ligand stem cell factor (SCF), which is
encoded as a soluble and membrane-associated protein by the Steel gene in mice, lead to …

Human kit ligand (KL), also known as stem cell factor (SCF), steel factor, or mast cell growth
factor, is a recently identified hematopoietic growth factor whose receptor is the product of …

Stem cell factor (SCF) and its tyrosine kinase receptor, c-Kit, play a crucial role in regulating
migration and proliferation of melanoblasts, germ cells, and hemopoietic cell progenitors by …

The kit ligand (KL), also termed stem cell factor (SCF), is a recently discovered
hematopoietic growth factor that augments response of early progenitor cells to other growth …

Recently a novel hematopoietic growth factor, stem cell factor (SCF), was cloned and
demonstrated to be the ligand for the c-kit tyrosine kinase receptor. In the mouse, SCF is …

A novel hematopoietic growth factor, the stem cell factor (SCF), for primitive hematopoietic
progenitor cells has recently been purified and its gene has been cloned. In this study we …

Stem cell factor (SCF), the ligand for the receptor (SCFR) that is encoded by the c-kit proto-
oncogene, has many important effects in mouse and human mast cell development, survival …

The protooncogene c-kit encodes a receptor type tyro-sine kinase and is allelic with the W
locus of mice. SLF, the c-Kit ligand which is encoded by the Sl locus, has growth promoting …

Activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase c‐kit by the kit‐ligand, also known as stem cell
factor (SCF), is essential to melanocyte and germ cell development and during the early …

Interactions between products of the mouse W locus, which encodes the c-kit tyrosine kinase
receptor, and the Sl locus, which encodes a ligand for c-kit receptor, which we have …
