- Description
- Predicted to have cytokine activity and stem cell factor receptor binding activity. Involved in embryonic hemopoiesis and hematopoietic stem cell homeostasis. Predicted to localize to plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 69 and familial progressive hyperpigmentation with or without hypopigmentation. Is expressed in caudal vein plexus; gut; integument; otic vesicle; and ventricular system. Orthologous to human KITLG (KIT ligand).
