Preferred Label : Batiraxcept;
NCIt synonyms : AXL Fc Fusion Protein AVB-S6-500; Anti-AXL Fusion Protein AVB-S6-500; RUGA-S6;
NCIt definition : A soluble fusion protein comprised of the extracellular domain of the receptor tyrosine
kinase (RTK) AXL (UFO) fused to a human immunoglobulin G1 (IgG1) Fc domain, with potential
antineoplastic activity. Upon administration, batiraxcept selectively binds to growth
arrest-specific protein 6 (GAS6), the endogenous ligand for AXL. This may inhibit
GAS6/AXL-mediated signaling, which plays a key role in tumor cell proliferation, survival,
invasion and metastasis, as well as immune evasion and resistance to other anticancer
agents. AXL, a member of the Tyro3, AXL and Mer (TAM) family of RTKs, is overexpressed
by many tumor cell types and its expression is associated with drug resistance and
poor prognosis.;
