Sequence of a cDNA encoding chicken stem cell factor

Gene. 1993 May 30;127(2):269-70. doi: 10.1016/0378-1119(93)90732-i.

Abstract

Stem cell factor (SCF) is a polypeptide growth factor and the ligand for the c-kit proto-oncogene product. We cloned a chicken cDNA encoding a protein homologous to the mouse and human SCFs. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence shows 53 and 52% identity to the mouse and human SCFs, respectively.
