Tree Number(s): D12.644.276.374.410.800; D12.776.467.374.410.800; D23.529.374.410.800
Unique ID: D019089
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019089
Scope Note: A hematopoietic growth factor and the ligand of the cell surface c-kit protein (PROTO-ONCOGENE PROTEINS C-KIT). It is expressed during embryogenesis and is a growth factor for a number of cell types including the MAST CELLS and the MELANOCYTES in addition to the HEMATOPOIETIC STEM CELLS.
