SOAT1 and neoplasm: Therefore, the PI3K/AKT/mTOR, JAK/STAT, NF-κB, and RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK signalling pathways function as important downstream pathways for the Gas6/AXL axis and play major roles in tumour cell survival, anti-apoptosis signalling, mitogenesis, migration, invasion, drug resistance, angiogenesis and the tumour-host relationship [63–66] (Fig. 1b).
