Abstract excerpt
Stem cell factor (also known as mast cell growth factor and kit-ligand) is a transmembrane growth factor with a highly conserved cytoplasmic domain. Basolateral membrane expression in epithelia and persistent cell surface exposure of stem cell factor are required for complete biological activity in pigmentation, fertility, learning, and hematopoiesis. Here we show by site-directed mutagenesis that the cytoplasmic...
