Kitlg - KIT ligand

Predicted to enable cytokine activity and stem cell factor receptor binding activity. Involved in ovarian follicle development and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including extracellular space; filopodium; and lamellipodium. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 69 and familial progressive hyperpigmentation with or without hypopigmentation. Orthologous to human KITLG (KIT ligand). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
