BACKGROUND: The murine coat-colour mutation recessive spotting (rs) maps very closely to the W/Kit locus, encoding the proto-oncoprotein Kit, the protein tyrosine kinase receptor for stem cell factor. Kit is important in the development of melanocytes, germ cells, interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC) and haemopoietic lineages, including mast cells. rs has never been genetically separated from Kit, and interacts with...
