Quantitate Human MERTK with 90.88 pg\/ml sensitivity.\u003cbr\u003e\nSimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:\u003cbr\u003e\n-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less\u003cbr\u003e\n-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fully validated in biological samples\u003cbr\u003e\n-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips\u003cbr\u003e\nA 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (\u003cbr\u003e\nab203359\u003cbr\u003e\n) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe MERTK protein also known as c-Mer tyrosine kinase plays a mechanical role as a receptor tyrosine kinase with a mass of approximately 110 kDa. It is expressed in multiple tissues including the retina immune cells and some epithelial cells. MERTK functions by binding with its ligands facilitating downstream signaling that affects cellular functions. The receptor is part of the TAM family alongside proteins like AXL and TYRO3.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nThe receptor MERTK orchestrates processes critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis such as efferocytosis and immune response regulation. It does not operate alone but often interacts with other cellular components to form functional complexes. This protein contributes significantly to phagocytosis a cellular process for clearing apoptotic cells ensuring a controlled immune environment.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nSeveral signal transduction pathways involve c-Mer tyrosine kinase in maintaining cellular communication. Notably it participates in the RAS\/MAPK and PI3K\/AKT pathways which are essential for cell survival and proliferation. These pathways involve interactions with proteins such as GAB1 and SOS highlighting the receptor's integration in cell signaling networks.\u003cbr\u003e\nAberrant activity of MERTK has associations with cancer and autoimmune disorders. In cancers such as leukemia overexpression of the MERTK protein promotes cell survival and proliferation. Its interaction with other proteins like GRB2 can further exacerbate oncogenic pathways. In autoimmune diseases dysregulated MERTK expression can lead to improper clearance of apoptotic cells contributing to systemic inflammation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843577073833,"sku":"ab300333","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab300333","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
