GA6/AXL structure and downstream signaling pathways. Ligand binding of the AXL receptor tyrosine kinase promotes autophosphorylation and activates various downstream signaling pathways in a cell- and context-dependent matter, including, but not restricted to p38, NF-kB, PI3K/AKT/mTOR, RAF/MEK/ERK, JAK/STAT/SOCS1/3, SRC/FAK, TWIST, SNAIL and SLUG signaling pathways. These pathways will lead to multiple phenotypes, including proliferation, survival, migration, plasticity, and immune suppression. Ligand-independent mechanisms of AXL activation have been proposed but are not detailed here.
