Anti-GAS6 antibody produced in rabbit

Growth arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6) is a ligand for Axl, which is a receptor tyrosine kinase.

Growth arrest-specific protein 6 (Gas6) has an important role in the Gas6/Axl (a receptor tyrosine kinase) signaling pathway which helps in the antiapoptotic effect of acidification on endothelial cells. Together with Axl, it is involved in interleukin 15 (IL-15)-mediated human natural killer cell (NK) differentiation. Gas6 also stimulates Schwann cell growth. Presence of Gas6 aids in the phosphorylation of Axl and tyrosine-protein kinase RSE. This further leads to extracellular signal-regulated kinase 2 (ERK-2) activation, finally resulting in Schwann cell growth.

Prestige Antibodies^® are highly characterized and extensively validated antibodies with the added benefit of all available characterization data for each target being accessible via the Human Protein Atlas portal linked just below the product name at the top of this page. The uniqueness and low cross-reactivity of the Prestige Antibodies^® to other proteins are due to a thorough selection of antigen regions, affinity purification, and stringent selection. Prestige antigen controls are available for every corresponding Prestige Antibody and can be found in the linkage section.

Every Prestige Antibody is tested in the following ways:

• IHC tissue array of 44 normal human tissues and 20 of the most common cancer type tissues.
• Protein array of 364 human recombinant protein fragments.
