Kit ligand
Gene: KITLG
Feedback?
Variant information Variant position: help 36 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Type of variant: help LP/P [Disclaimer] The variants are classified into three categories: LP/P, LB/B and US.
  • LP/P: likely pathogenic or pathogenic.
  • LB/B: likely benign or benign.
  • US: uncertain significance

Residue change: help From Asparagine (N) to Serine (S) at position 36 (N36S, p.Asn36Ser). Indicates the amino acid change of the variant. The one-letter and three-letter codes for amino acids used in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot are those adopted by the commission on Biochemical Nomenclature of the IUPAC-IUB.
Physico-chemical properties: help Change from medium size and polar (N) to small size and polar (S) The physico-chemical property of the reference and variant residues and the change implicated.
BLOSUM score: help 1 The score within a Blosum matrix for the corresponding wild-type to variant amino acid change. The log-odds score measures the logarithm for the ratio of the likelihood of two amino acids appearing by chance. The Blosum62 substitution matrix is used. This substitution matrix contains scores for all possible exchanges of one amino acid with another:
  • Lowest score: -4 (low probability of substitution).
  • Highest score: 11 (high probability of substitution).

Variant description: help In FPHH; gain-of-function mutation; sKITLG reveales that the mutant Ser-36 sKITLG increases the content of the melanin by 109% compared with the wild-type sKITLG; tyrosinase activity is significantly increased by the mutant sKITLG compared to wild-type control. Any additional useful information about the variant.

Sequence information Variant position: help 36 The position of the amino-acid change on the UniProtKB canonical protein sequence.
Protein sequence length: help 273 The length of the canonical sequence.
Location on the sequence: help LLLFNPLVKTEGICRNRVTN N VKDVTKLVANLPKDYMITLK The residue change on the sequence. Unless the variant is located at the beginning or at the end of the protein sequence, both residues upstream (20) and downstream (20) of the variant will be shown.
Residue conservation: help The multiple alignment of the region surrounding the variant against various orthologous sequences.
