TREATMENT OF ANEMIA

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for the treatment of anemia based on the administration of the product of growth arrest-specific gene 6 (Gas6), its mutants, variants, active derivatives and the physiological tolerated salts of said Gas6 derivatives or of a group of biologically active substances inducing a GAS6 expression or releasing action or of a group of compounds that activate the Sky, AxI or Mer receptor tyrosine kinases. Furthermore the invention relates to a pharmaceutically effective composition to treat anemia. The composition comprises a pharmaceutically effective amount of a product of growth arrest­specific gene 6 (Gas6), or its mutant, variant, active derivative or the physiological tolerated salts of said Gas6 derivative or a biologically active substance that induces GAS6 expression or GAS6 release or a substance that activates the Sky, AxI or Mer receptor tyrosine kinases.
