The effective vertex function (EVF) is calculated in the QCD hard-scattering approach, taking into account the
-meson mass. We work in the approximation in which only one non-leading Gegenbauer moment in both the quark-antiquark and gluonic light-cone distribution amplitude for the η
′-meson is kept. The EVF with one off-shell gluon is shown to have the form
, valid for
. An interpolating formulae for the EVF in the space-like region of the virtuality
, which satisfies the QCD-anomaly normalization for on-shell gluons and the perturbative-QCD result for the gluon virtuality
GeV2, is also presented.
