Signaling by KIT in disease
Click the image above or here to open this pathway in the Pathway Browser
KIT signaling is important in several processes including stem cell maintenance, erythropoiesis, mast cell development, lymphopoiesis, melanogenesis and maintenance of interstitial cell of Cajal (Hirota et al, 1998; Chi et al, 2010). Gain-of-function mutations in KIT have been identified at low frequency in a number of diseases, including AML, melanoma and mast and germ cell tumors, and at higher frequency in gastrointesinal stromal tumors (reviewed in Lennartsson and Roonstrand, 2012; Abbaspour Babaei et al, 2016; Roskoski, 2018).
