The product of the c-kit proto-oncogene, denoted Kit/SCF-R, encodes a tyrosine kinase receptor for stem cell factor (SCF).

We report here that protein kinase C (PKC) mediates phosphorylation of Kit/SCF-R on serine residues in respo

Results. Overall, women had lower unadjusted mortality hazard ratio (HR) than men: HR 0.8
