In this study, we profile the expression of MER, TYRO3, and AXL among multiple human cancer cells, and assess induction of phosphorylated AKT (pAKT) by GAS6 and reversal by AXL/MER inhibitors in human melanoma G361 cells that were found to express high levels of MER and TYRO3, but not AXL. Here, AXL is linked to melanoma.
