Abstract
Source/description: The KIT ligand gene (KITLG, formerly MGF) codes for mast cell growth factor, the ligand of the tyrosine-kinase receptor encoded by the KIT locus. The deduced amino acid sequence of the chicken KITLG gene shows 53 and 52% identity to the mouse and human KITLG genes, respectively. Mammalian matrix Gla protein (MGP) is an 84-residue vitamin K-dependent protein expressed at high levels in heart, kidney and lung, and upregulated by vitamin D in bone cells. Avian MGP shows 51–56% identity to mammalian genes and is similarly expressed. Tyrosinase is responsible for limiting the final melanin content in tissues. Numerous mutations of the TYR gene lead to different forms of albinism in human and animals...
