Other Information

**Key Characteristics** FLT3LG is a ligand for the Fms-related tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) receptor, which is a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase. FLT3LG is a secreted protein that binds to FLT3, activating its tyrosine kinase activity and triggering a cascade of downstream signaling events. The FLT3LG/FLT3 interaction is essential for the activation of various signaling pathways, including the PI3K/AKT, MAPK, and JAK/STAT pathways. FLT3LG is highly expressed in hematopoietic cells, particularly in T cells, and its expression is regulated by various transcription factors and cytokines. **Pathways and Functions** The FLT3LG/FLT3 interaction activates several signaling pathways that are crucial for the development, differentiation, and function of T cells. The PI3K/AKT pathway is activated through the binding of FLT3LG to FLT3, leading to the phosphorylation and activation of AKT, a key regulator of cell survival and proliferation. The MAPK pathway is also activated, leading to the phosphorylation and activation of MAPK kinases, which regulate various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Additionally, the JAK/STAT pathway is activated, leading to the phosphorylation and activation of STAT proteins, which regulate gene expression and cytokine production. FLT3LG plays a critical role in the regulation of T cell development and function, particularly in the development of T-helper 22 cells, which are essential for the regulation of immune responses. FLT3LG also regulates the proliferation and differentiation of other immune cells, including mature alpha-beta T cells and gamma-delta T cells. Furthermore, FLT3LG has been implicated in the regulation of other cellular processes, including cell survival, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. **Clinical Significance** Abnormal expression of FLT3LG has been implicated in several diseases, including leukemia. Mutations in the FLT3 gene, which encodes the FLT3 receptor, are commonly found in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). FLT3LG has been shown to contribute to the development and progression of these diseases by activating the FLT3 signaling pathway and promoting the proliferation and survival of leukemic cells. Additionally, FLT3LG has been implicated in other diseases, including autoimmune disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis, where it may contribute to the regulation of immune responses. In summary, FLT3LG is a critical gene involved in the regulation of hematopoiesis, particularly in the development and function of T cells. Its abnormal expression has been implicated in several diseases, including leukemia and autoimmune disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the mechanisms by which FLT3LG regulates T cell development and function, as well as its role in disease pathogenesis.
