title: Sequence of a cDNA encoding chicken stem cell factor.
abstract: Stem cell factor (SCF) is a polypeptide growth factor and the ligand for the c-kit proto-oncogene product. We cloned a chicken cDNA encoding a protein homologous to the mouse and human SCFs. The deduced amino acid (aa) sequence shows 53 and 52% identity to the mouse and human SCFs, respectively.
