Abstract excerpt
Kit ligand (Kitl), which is a member of the helical cytokine superfamily, is encoded by the Steel (Sl) locus of mice and is essential for the development of hematopoietic cells, germ cells, and melanocytes. A large series of Kitl(Sl) alleles has been described, including some that arose spontaneously and others that were induced by either chemical or radiation mutagenesis. Here we describe the nucleotide sequence...
