Gene Variant Descriptions | KIT V559G lies within the juxtamembrane domain (exon 11) of the Kit protein (PMID: 12879016). V559G results in constitutive phosphorylation of Kit in a patient sample (PMID: 15897563), and the corresponding mouse variant results in ligand-independent Kit phosphorylation and increased proliferation in cultured cells and increased tumor formation in mouse models (PMID: 8546206). |
