Description: Homo sapiens fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand (FLT3LG), transcript variant 1, mRNA. RefSeq Summary (NM_001204502): 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]).[supplied by OMIM, Jan 2011]. Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg19 chr19:49,977,466-49,989,488 Size: 12,023 Total Exon Count: 9 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg19 chr19:49,977,897-49,983,856 Size: 5,960 Coding Exon Count: 7
ID:FLT3L_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 ligand; Short=Flt3 ligand; Short=Flt3L; AltName: Full=SL cytokine; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Stimulates the proliferation of early hematopoietic cells by activating FLT3. Synergizes well with a number of other colony stimulating factors and interleukins. SUBUNIT: Homodimer (isoform 2). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 1: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 2: Secreted.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
