Noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus occurs in mice ectopically expressing the human Axl tyrosine kinase receptor.

Abstract excerpt

The axl tyrosine kinase receptor is aberrantly expressed on myeloid cells of many individuals afflicted with chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) and other myeloid leukemias. Although previous studies demonstrated this kinase to have oncogenic potential, it is not known whether axl actively participates in the onset and/or progression of CML. We addressed this question by generating transgenic mice possessing...
