Isolation and chromosomal localization of a novel FMS-like tyrosine kinase gene

Genomics. 1991 Feb;9(2):380-5. doi: 10.1016/0888-7543(91)90270-o.

Abstract

We have isolated and sequenced part of a new gene of the tyrosine kinase family. This gene, called FLT3, has strong sequence similarities with members of a group of genes encoding growth factor receptors: FMS, KIT, and PDGFR. We have localized the human FLT3 gene to chromosome 13, band q12, and its mouse homolog to chromosome 5, region G.
