Axl - Axl receptor tyrosine kinase

Enables myosin heavy chain binding activity and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ regeneration; cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; and negative regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; cell surface; and host cell surface. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Used to study glomerulonephritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human AXL (AXL receptor tyrosine kinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
