Function

Receptor tyrosine kinase that transduces signals from the extracellular matrix into the cytoplasm by binding growth factor GAS6 and which is thus regulating many physiological processes including cell survival, cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. Ligand binding at the cell surface induces dimerization and autophosphorylation of AXL. Following activation by ligand, AXL binds and induces tyrosine phosphorylation of PI3-kinase subunits PIK3R1, PIK3R2 and PIK3R3; but also GRB2, PLCG1, LCK and PTPN11. Other downstream substrate candidates for AXL are CBL, NCK2, SOCS1 and TNS2. Recruitment of GRB2 and phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase regulatory subunits by AXL leads to the downstream activation of the AKT kinase. GAS6/AXL signaling plays a role in various processes such as endothelial cell survival during acidification by preventing apoptosis, optimal cytokine signaling during human natural killer cell development, hepatic regeneration, gonadotropin-releasing hormone neuron survival and migration, platelet activation, or regulation of thrombotic responses. Also plays an important role in inhibition of Toll-like receptors (TLRs)-mediated innate immune response. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for lassa virus and lymphocytic choriomeningitis virus, possibly through GAS6 binding to phosphatidyl-serine at the surface of virion envelope. (Microbial infection) Acts as a receptor for Ebolavirus, possibly through GAS6 binding to phosphatidyl-serine at the surface of virion envelope. (Microbial infection) Promotes Zika virus entry in glial cells, Sertoli cells and astrocytes (PubMed:28076778, PubMed:29379210, PubMed:31311882). Additionally, Zika virus potentiates AXL kinase activity to antagonize type I interferon signaling and thereby promotes infection (PubMed:28076778). Interferon signaling inhibition occurs via an SOCS1-dependent mechanism (PubMed:29379210).

Notes

ab234258 is the carrier-free version of Anti-Axl antibody [EPR21107] ab215205.

Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.

This product is a recombinant monoclonal antibody, which offers several advantages including:

  • - High batch-to-batch consistency and reproducibility
  • - Improved sensitivity and specificity
  • - Long-term security of supply
  • - Animal-free batch production

For more information, read more on recombinant antibodies.

Our carrier-free antibodies are typically supplied in a PBS-only formulation, purified and free of BSA, sodium azide and glycerol. The carrier-free buffer and high concentration allow for increased conjugation efficiency.

This conjugation-ready format is designed for use with fluorochromes, metal isotopes, oligonucleotides, and enzymes, which makes them ideal for antibody labelling, functional and cell-based assays, flow-based assays (e.g. mass cytometry) and Multiplex Imaging applications.

Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with 1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.

This product is compatible with the Maxpar® Antibody Labeling Kit from Fluidigm, without the need for antibody preparation. Maxpar® is a trademark of Fluidigm Canada Inc.

Activity summary

The Axl protein also known as AXL receptor tyrosine kinase plays a significant role in cell signaling. It has a molecular weight of approximately 98 kDa. Axl is a transmembrane receptor that is expressed in a variety of tissues including the immune system reproductive organs and the central nervous system. It is mainly recognized for transmitting signals from the extracellular matrix into the cytoplasm by binding with its ligand Gas6.

Biological function summary

Axl is important in mediating cell survival proliferation and migration. It functions as part of the TAM family of receptors which also includes Tyro3 and Mer. Axl often forms complexes with these receptors to facilitate efficient signaling. This interaction triggers phosphorylation events that activate downstream signaling proteins reinforcing its influence in cellular functions.

Pathways

Axl is deeply involved in the PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways which are central to cellular growth and survival. In these pathways Axl interacts closely with proteins like PI3K and Akt to regulate processes such as apoptosis and metabolism. Its interaction with these pathways places Axl as an important modulator of intracellular signaling cascades.

Associated diseases and disorders

Axl has been implicated in cancer progression and immune response dysregulation. In many cancer types Axl overexpression links to tumor invasion metastasis and resistance to therapy. Moreover Axl’s role in autoimmune diseases becomes evident through its association with the Gas6 protein. Exploring these connections furthers understanding of how Axl's aberrant activity influences health and disease.
