This family is characterized by a common NCAM (neural adhesion molecule)-related extracellular domain and a common ligand, GAS6 (growth arrest specific protein 6). Mer protein has an apparent molecular weight of 170-210 kDa due to different glycosylation patterns generated in different cell types. Mer can be activated by dimerization and autophosphorylation through ligand binding or homophilic cell-cell interaction mediated by its NCAM-like motif (1). The downstream signaling components of activated Mer include PI3 kinase, PLCγ, and MAP kinase (2). Family members are prone to transcriptional regulation and carry out diverse functions, including the regulation of cell adhesion, migration, phagocytosis, and survival (3). Mer regulates macrophage activation, promotes apoptotic cell engulfment, and supports platelet aggregation and clot stability (4). Investigators have found that overexpression of Mer may play a cooperative role in leukemogenesis and may be an effective target for biologically based leukemia\/lymphoma therapy (5).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nc-mer proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase; Eyk; Mer; MER proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase; Mertk; nmf1; nmf12; Nyk; OTTMUSP00000016359; Proto-oncogene c-Mer; proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Mer; Receptor tyrosine kinase MerTK; Tyro 12; Tyrosine-protein kinase Mer\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: M R\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 175\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46800092528809,"sku":"38102T","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-38102t","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
