摘要
The type III tyrosine kinase receptor c-KIT and its ligand stem cell factor (SCF; also known as KIT ligand, mast cell growth factor and steel factor) are closely involved in the regulation of a wide range of tissues at different stages of life. This review provides an outline of the discovery, structure and expression of SCF and c-KIT but concentrates on their respective roles in the regulation of human haemopoiesis and how this knowledge might be exploited in the clinical setting.
