Acts upstream of or within several processes, including melanocyte apoptotic process; melanocyte differentiation; and melanocyte migration. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including digestive system; gonad; mesoderm; nervous system; and neural crest. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including acute myeloid leukemia; gastrointestinal stromal tumor; germ cell cancer (multiple); piebaldism; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human KIT (KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
