Expression of c‐KIT and Its Ligand, Stem Cell Factor, in Normal and Subfertile Human Testicular Tissue

8 Jul 1996

Abstract excerpt

The c-KIT proto-oncogene encodes for a transmembrane receptor and is associated with maturation of several cell types, including germ cells. The ligand of the receptor has been identified as stem cell factor (SCF). Loss or alteration of the expression of either of these factors leads to anemia, albinism, and/or sterility in mice. We examined the expression of c-KIT and SCF by immunohistochemistry in specimens...
