Summary
Enables identical protein binding activity and receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process; and regulation of leukocyte activation. Located in cell surface and extracellular space. Is intrinsic component of external side of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; liver; retina; spleen; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in colon carcinoma; glioblastoma; and high grade glioma. Orthologous to human FLT3LG (fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 ligand).

  6. Study demonstrated that conventional dendritic cells 2 (cDC2s) produced their own FLT3L and utilized the transmembrane metalloproteinase ADAM10 to shed membrane bound FLT3L into soluble forms. This process was crucial for cDC2s to develop and survive in the spleen. These findings likely represent cell-autonomous developmental and survival processes that enable cDC2s to preferentially gain access to FLT3L.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
