Abstract excerpt
Growth arrest-specific gene 6 (GAS6) encodes a vitamin K-dependent protein that regulates inflammation, angiogenesis, and atherosclerotic plaque formation. The level of GAS6 expression is associated with plaque stability and stroke. We explored the role of GAS6 in cardiovascular disease, particularly in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). We determined the plasma levels of GAS6 protein by using an enzyme-linked...
