GAS6 (Growth arrest-specific protein 6) is a gene. The public catalogues list it as a drug target and a biomarker, and clinical evidence ties its variants to diagnosis, prognosis or drug response. Tied to Prostate cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Ligand for tyrosine-protein kinase receptors AXL, TYRO3 and MER whose signalling is implicated in cell growth and survival, cell adhesion and cell migration. GAS6/AXL signalling plays a role in various processes such as endothelial cell survival during acidification by preventing apoptosis, optimal cytokine signalling during human natural killer cell development, hepatic regeneration, gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuron survival and migration, platelet activation, or regulation of thrombotic responses. Plays a role in Dengue cell entry by apoptotic mimicry. Plays a role in Vaccinia virus cell entry by apoptotic mimicry. Plays a role in ebolavirus and marburgvirus cell entry by apoptotic mimicry. Location: Secreted (UniProt). Locus 13q34 (HGNC).
