| Protein Effect | unknown |
| Gene Variant Descriptions | KIT Y553N lies within the juxtamembrane domain (exon 11) of the Kit protein (PMID: 16226710). Y553N is predicted to stabilize the active conformation of Kit by structural modeling (PMID: 23588081), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Kit protein function is unknown (PubMed, Jul 2025). |
