Biochem/physiol Actions

Stem cell Factor (SCF) or kit ligand or steel factor or mast cell growth factor is a growth factor essential to bring about various homeostatic events like maintenance of hematopoietic stem cells, mast cells and melanocytes. SCF is essential for maintaining mature melanocytes and to promote hair pigmentation. In ovary, granulosa cells produce kit ligand, which promotes activation and growth of primordial follicles. Kit ligand converts primordial follicles to primary follicles and leads to subsequent follicle growth. Kit ligand acts as an anti-apoptotic factor and causes the growth of primordial follicles in mouse fetal ovary. Kit signalling is crucial for growth of interstitial cells of Cajal (ICCs) and regulates gastrointestinal motility in fetal mice.
