Cutaneous pigmentation is regulated by a complex melanogenic network in which skin cells synthesize growth factors and cytokines. Mutations in genes encoding these regulators modify their expression and/or functionality, leading to altered signaling pathways and contributing to altered skin phenotypes.
Structural features of v-kit, the oncogene of HZ4 feline sarcoma virus, suggested that this gene arose by transduction and truncation of cellular sequences. Complementary DNA cloning of the human proto-oncogene coding for a receptor tyrosine kinase confirmed this possibility: c-kit
