Promotion of the uptake of PS liposomes and apoptotic cells by a product of growth arrest-specific gene, gas6.

Abstract excerpt

Gas6, a ligand of receptor tyrosine kinases Axl, Sky, and Mer, potentiates cell proliferation and prevents cell death. It also contains g-carboxylglutamic acid residues that mediate the interaction of some blood coagulation factors with negatively charged phospholipids. In our previous study, we demonstrated that Gas6 specifically binds to phosphatidylserine (PS) and links Axl-expressing cells to the PS-coated...
