Brilliant Violet 421™ anti-human AXL Antibody, AXL, S21005C,BioLegend,386510

AXL, also known as ARK or UFO, is a widely expressed glycoprotein in the TAM (Tyro3/Dtk, AXL, and Mer) receptor tyrosine kinase family. AXL is highly expressed in solid cancers. It is also expressed on a small population of human dendritic cells that share characteristics of classical and plasmacytoid dendritic cells. AXL binds the vitamin K-dependent growth arrest specific 6 (Gas6) protein and induces receptor autophosphorylation and downstream signaling pathways that are related to cell proliferation, migration, or apoptosis. AXL is also involved in hematopoiesis, embryonic development, tumorigenesis, and regulation of testicular functions. Recent studies have also shown that AXL and Mer are both linked to Alzheimer's disease.
