Gene information for AXL (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID558
Official gene symbolAXL
Full nameAXL receptor tyrosine kinase
Aliases,JTK11,UFO,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a member of the receptor tyrosine kinase subfamily. Although it is similar to other receptor tyrosine kinases, this protein represents a unique structure of the extracellular region that juxtaposes IgL and FNIII repeats. It transduces signals from the extracellular matrix into the cytoplasm by binding growth factors like vitamin K-dependent protein growth-arrest-specific gene 6. It is involved in the stimulation of cell proliferation and can also mediate cell aggregation by homophilic binding. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
