phenotypes
All alleles(52) : Targeted, other(1) Gene trapped(4) Spontaneous(18) Chemically induced(15) Radiation induced(14) Other(2)
Mutations in this gene affect migration of embryonic stem cells and cause similar phenotypes to mutations in its receptor gene (Kit). Mutants show mild to severe defects in pigmentation, hemopoiesis and reproduction.
