Growth arrest-specific gene 6 (GAS6) encodes a vitamin K-dependent protein that regulates inflammation, angiogenesis, and atherosclerotic plaque formation. Gas6 is a ligand for3 tyrosine kinase receptors (Axl, Tyro3, and Mer) whose signalingis implicated primarily in cell survival but also in cell proliferation,adhesion, and migration. Gas6is also involved in plateletaggregation.Gas6plays a pivotal role in endothelial-cell response to inflammatorystimuli by promoting interaction of circulating cells with endothelium,amplifying local thrombosis, and increasing leukocyte infiltrationinto inflamed tissue.
