pubmed:abstractText |
KIT functions as the receptor for stem cell factor (SCF) and this interaction is essential for regulation of proliferation and survival, particularly for germ cells since it regulates oogenesis, folliculogenesis and spermatogenesis. Up-regulation of KIT signalling has been associated with oncogenic transformation in cells expressing the molecule. Our objective was to investigate the expression of KIT in germ cell tumor patients and correlate it with the patients' clinical characteristics.
