Flt3 ligand is a novel hematopoietic growth factor ligand for the FLT3 tyrosine kinase receptor. This growth factor stimulates the proliferation of hematopoietic progenitor cells. FLT3 (FLK2) is a tyrosine kinase receptor structurally related to CSF1 and KIT. (from OMIM 600007 and NCI) (NCI Thesaurus)
