the Gas6/Axl interaction was inhibited by R428, which abolished the preventive effect of VK2 on CaCl2- and beta-GP-induced apoptosis and calcification.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
