Stem cell factor receptor (CD117, the gene product of the c-kit proto-oncogene) and its ligand, stem cell factor, play essential roles in gametogenesis, melanogenesis and hematopoiesis. Stem cell factor receptor is a member of the type III subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) that also includes the receptors for M-CSF, Flt-3 and PDGF. It is expressed in hematopoietic progenitor cells, normal B and T cell progenitor cells, mast cells, germ cells, melanocytes, neurons, glial cells, placenta, kidney, lung and gut.
