Stem cell factor (SCF), also known as mast cell growth factor, kit ligand, and steel factor, is
the ligand for the tyrosine kinase receptor (SCFR) that is encoded by the c-kit proto …

We investigated the effects of a newly recognized multifunctional growth factor, the c-kit
ligand stem cell factor (SCF), on mouse mast cell proliferation and phenotype. Recombinant …

The c‐kit proto‐oncogene encodes a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor for an
unidentified ligand and is allelic with the murine white‐spotting locus (W). W mutations affect …

Stem cell factor (SCF) plays a crucial role in hematopoiesis through its interaction with the
receptor tyrosine kinase c-kit. However, the signaling events that are activated by this …

Mast cell development is a complex process that results in the appearance of phenotypically
distinct populations of mast cells in different anatomical sites. Mice homozygous for …

The protooncogene c-kit encodes a tyrosine kinase with a molecular weight of 145,000,
highly related to the platelet derived growth factor/colony stimulating factor receptors …

The Kit/stem cell factor receptor (Kit/SCF-R) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor of
importance for the normal development of hemopoietic cells, melanoblasts, and germ cells …

Previous studies have suggested that Steel factor (SF) can influence the behavior of many
types of hematopoietic progenitor cells both in vivo and in vitro, although whether these may …

The proto‐oncogene c‐kit is allelic with the murine white spotting (W) locus and encodes a
transmembrane protein tyrosine kinase that is structurally related to the receptors for platelet …

Stem cell factor (SCF), the ligand for the c-kit protooncogene product, was able to stimulate
blast cell and granulocytic colony formation by precursors from normal murine bone marrow …
