Protein Effect | unknown |
Gene Variant Descriptions | KIT V654G lies within the protein kinase domain of the Kit protein (UniProt.org). V654G is associated with resistance to KIT inhibitors (PMID: 38408285), but has not been biochemically characterized and therefore, its effect on Kit protein function is unknown (PubMed, Nov 2024). |
