Background: CD117/c-kit

Stem cell factor receptor (SCFR), also known as c-Kit and CD117, is a type III receptor tyrosine kinase that acts as the receptor for the cytokine SCF. Human SCFR is expressed in embryonic stem cells and is involved in regulation of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, gametogenesis, and melanogenesis (1-3). Mature human SCFR consists of an extracellular domain (ECD) with five tandem immunoglobulin-like domains, a single transmembrane segment, and a cytoplasmic region with a split tyrosine kinase domain. Within the ECD, human SCFR shares 73% and 76% amino acid sequence identity with mouse and rat SCFR, respectively. Several SCFR isoforms, produced by alternative mRNA splicing, have been identified in humans and can be characterized by the presence or absence of a tetrapeptide sequence (GNNK) in the juxtamembrane region of the ECD (4, 5). Binding of SCFR to SCF triggers receptor dimerization and activates downstream signaling (6). SCF is a primary growth and activation factor for mast cells and eosinophils and SCFR expression on mast cells enables them to infiltrate SCF-secreting tumors where they promote tumor growth and induce local immune suppression (7, 8). SCFR is up regulated on dendritic cells by Th2- or Th17-biasing stimuli, and it is required for subsequent dendritic cell induction of Th2 and Th17 responses (9). SCFR protects vascular smooth muscle cells from apoptosis and assists in the recovery of cardiac function following myocardial infarction (10, 11). Mutations or deletions of SCFR cause a wide variety of malignancies as well as pigmentation disorders and sterility (12).
