Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 4254
Gene name KIT ligand
Gene symbol KITLG
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
DCUADFNA69FPH2FPHHKL-1KitlMGFSCFSFSHEP7SLFWS2F
Chromosome 12
Chromosome location 12q21.32
Summary This gene encodes the ligand of the tyrosine-kinase receptor encoded by the KIT locus. This ligand is a pleiotropic factor that acts in utero in germ cell and neural cell development, and hematopoiesis, all believed to reflect a role in cell migration. In
