SCF R is also known as the c-kit proto-oncogene protein and as CD117. Together with its ligand, stem cell factor (also called c-kit ligand or mast cell growth factor), SCF R plays an essential role in gametogenesis, melanogenesis, and hematopoiesis. SCF R is expressed in hematopoietic progenitor cells, normal B and T lymphocyte progenitors, mast cells, germ cells, melanocytes, neurons, glial cells, placenta, kidney, lung, and gut. In addition, SCF R expression has also been reported in several human tumor cell lines (1,2).
