FLT3LG
geneOn this page
Summary
FLT3LG (fms related receptor tyrosine kinase 3 ligand, HGNC:3766) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 19q13.33, encoding Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (P49771). Stimulates the proliferation of early hematopoietic cells by activating FLT3. In precision oncology, FLT3 Overexpression AND FLT3LG Expression confers sensitivity to Quizartinib + Linifanib + Lestaurtinib + Midostaurin + Ponatinib + FLT3 Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor TTT-3002 + Sunitinib in Cancer (CIViC Level D); 1 further curated variant–drug associations are listed below.
Dendritic cells (DCs) provide the key link between innate and adaptive immunity by recognizing pathogens and priming pathogen-specific immune responses. FLT3LG controls the development of DCs and is particularly important for plasmacytoid DCs and CD8 (see MIM 186910)-positive classical DCs and their CD103 (ITGAE; MIM 604682)-positive tissue counterparts (summary by Sathaliyawala et al., 2010 [PubMed 20933441]).
