Disease

[SCF_HUMAN] Defects in KITLG are the cause of familial progressive hyperpigmentation (FPH) [MIM:145250]; also called melanosis universalis hereditaria (MUH). FPH is an autosomal-dominantly inherited disorder characterized by hyperpigmented patches in the skin, present in early infancy and increasing in size and number with age.^[1]

Function

[SCF_HUMAN] Ligand for the receptor-type protein-tyrosine kinase KIT. Plays an essential role in the regulation of cell survival and proliferation, hematopoiesis, stem cell maintenance, gametogenesis, mast cell development, migration and function, and in melanogenesis. KITLG/SCF binding can activate several signaling pathways. Promotes phosphorylation of PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, and subsequent activation of the kinase AKT1. KITLG/SCF and KIT also transmit signals via GRB2 and activation of RAS, RAF1 and the MAP kinases MAPK1/ERK2 and/or MAPK3/ERK1. KITLG/SCF and KIT promote activation of STAT family members STAT1, STAT3 and STAT5. KITLG/SCF and KIT promote activation of PLCG1, leading to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. KITLG/SCF acts synergistically with other cytokines, probably interleukins.

Publication Abstract from PubMed

Stem cell factor (SCF) plays important roles in hematopoiesis and the survival, proliferation, and differentiation of mast cells, melanocytes, and germ cells. SCF mediates its biological effects by binding to and activating a receptor tyrosine kinase designated c-kit or SCF receptor. In this report we describe the 2.3-A crystal structure of the functional core of recombinant human SCF. SCF is a noncovalent homodimer composed of two slightly wedged protomers. Each SCF protomer exhibits an antiparallel four-helix bundle fold. Dimerization is mediated by extensive polar and nonpolar interactions between the two protomers with a large buried surface area. Finally, we have identified a hydrophobic crevice and a charged region at the tail of each protomer that functions as a potential receptor-binding site. On the basis of these observations, a model for SCF small middle dotc-kit complex formation and dimerization is proposed.
