It plays a critical role in activation and growth in a number of cell types, including hematopoietic stem cells, mast cells, melanocytes, and germ cells (3). Upon binding with its stem cell factor (SCF) ligand, c-Kit undergoes dimerization\/oligomerization and autophosphorylation. Activation of c-Kit results in the recruitment and tyrosine phosphorylation of downstream SH2-containing signaling components, including PLCγ, the p85 subunit of PI3 kinase, SHP2, and CrkL (4). Molecular lesions that impair the kinase activity of c-Kit are associated with a variety of developmental disorders (5), and mutations that constitutively activate c-Kit can lead to pathogenesis of mastocytosis and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST) (6). Tyr719 (Tyr721 in human c-Kit, Tyr722 in rat) is located in the kinase insert region of the catalytic domain. c-Kit phosphorylated at Tyr719 binds to the p85 subunit of PI3 kinase and (7). A number of RTK inhibitors have been evaluated in the clinical space in patients with c-Kit driven tumors, beginning with imatinib in 2002 (8). More recently, improved outcomes have been observed with repretinib in patients with advanced, imatinib-resistant GIST (9,10).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nC-Kit; c-Kit protooncogene; CD117; ckit; KIT; KIT proto-oncogene, receptor tyrosine kinase; Mast\/stem cell growth factor receptor; Mast\/stem cell growth factor receptor Kit; MASTC; p145 c-kit; PBT; Piebald trait protein; Proto-oncogene c-Kit; proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Kit; SCFR; soluble KIT variant 1; Tyrosine-protein kinase Kit; v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene homolog; v-kit Hardy-Zuckerman 4 feline sarcoma viral oncogene-like protein\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 145, 120\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46799926001833,"sku":"81691S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-81691s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
