Biological function

KIT is a cell-surface receptor tyrosine kinase for KITLG/SCF. Ligand binding activates signalling pathways that support cell survival and proliferation and contribute to haematopoiesis, stem-cell maintenance, mast-cell biology, gametogenesis and melanogenesis.

Research context

KIT is widely studied in receptor tyrosine-kinase signalling, haematopoiesis, mast cells, stem/progenitor cells and cancer models. Reagent selection should consider species, sample type, assay format, application and supporting validation.
