The Kit tyrosine kinase membrane receptor is essential for melanogenesis, gametogenesis and hematopoiesis during embryonic development and postnatal life. This review summarizes the genetic evidence implicating Kit and its ligand, Steel factor, in the control of stem cell proliferation, migration and survival, with emphasis on mutations in the human and mouse genes.
Kit酪氨酸激酶膜受体在胚胎发育和出生后的生命过程中对黑素生成、配子发生和造血作用至关重要。本综述总结了涉及Kit及其配体Steel因子在干细胞增殖、迁移和存活控制方面的遗传学证据,重点关注人类和小鼠基因中的突变。
