Background
KIT, also named as SCFR, c-Kit and CD117, is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase encoded by the cKit proto oncogene. It is a type 3 transmembrane receptor for MGF (mast cell growth factor, also known as stem cell factor). KIT acts to regulate a variety of biological responses including cell proliferation, apoptosis, chemotaxis and adhesion. Ligand(SCF) binding to the extracellular domain leads to autophosphorylation on several tyrosine residues within the cytoplasmic domain, and activation. Phosphorylation at tyrosine 721 of KIT allows binding and activation of PI3 kinase.
