Abstract
An activator of the Rse receptor protein tyrosine kinase has been identified which is encoded by growth arrest-specific gene 6 (gas6). Accordingly, the present invention provides variant gas6 polypeptides, compositions comprising variant gas6 polypeptides, nucleic acids encoding variant gas6 polypeptides, vectors comprising those nucleic acids and host cells comprising those vectors. The present invention is further directed to methods for making variant gas6 polypeptides.
