The protein has a role in melanocyte development.

General description

c-KIT (T670I) is a protein that belongs to the type I cytokine receptor family which combines with a high-affinity converter subunit, gp130, to form a receptor complex that mediates the action of the leukemia inhibitory factor, a polyfunctional cytokine that is involved in cellular differentiation, proliferation and survival in the adult and the embryo. c-KIT (T670I) is a good candidate gene and the mutation of this gene cause Schwartz-Jampel syndrome type 2, a disease belonging to the group of the bent-bone dysplasias. The gene encoding this protein is localized on human chromosome 4q12.
