    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    Axl Antibody detects endogenous levels of Axl protein. The antibody does not cross-react with related proteins.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat, Hamster, Monkey

    The antigen sequence used to produce this antibody shares 100% sequence homology with the species listed here, but reactivity has not been tested or confirmed to work by CST. Use of this product with these species is not covered under our Product Performance Guarantee.

    Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology:

    Bovine

    Source / Purification

    Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to sequences surrounding amino acid residue 740 of human Axl. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

    Background

    Axl, Sky, and Mer are three members of a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family that share a conserved intracellular tyrosine kinase domain and an extracellular domain similar to those seen in cell adhesion molecules. These RTKs bind the vitamin K-dependent protein growth-arrest-specific gene 6 (Gas6), which is structurally related to the protein S anticoagulation factor (1). Upon binding to its receptor, Gas6 activates phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) and its downstream targets Akt and S6K, as well as NF-κB (2,3). A large body of evidence supports a role for Gas6/Axl signaling in cell growth and survival in normal and cancer cells (4).
