INTENDED USE AND DESCRIPTION: For use a quantitative control for the determination of human Gas6 concentrations in biological fluids. Controls are supplied lyophilized. Please refer to the lot specific certificate of analysis and Simple Plex Lyophilized Quality Control product insert for additional information.
Gas6 (Growth Arrest Specific 6) is a secreted protein that contains an extensively gamma-carboxylated N-terminal Gla domain and is dependent upon vitamin K for activity. Gas6 signals through the receptors Axl, Dtk/Tyro3, and Mer and is inhibited by shed soluble forms of Axl and Mer. Gas6 protects cells from stress-induced apoptosis and promotes phagocytosis of apoptotic cell debris, promotes platelet activation but inhibits inflammatory cytokine production, and inhibits VEGF-induced angiogenesis, and regulates tumor cell invasiveness.
