When stimulated by ligands such as Protein S or Gas6, activated MerTK confers a survival advantage to cancer cells by promoting their survival, enhancing migration, and inhibiting apoptosis. The overexpression of MerTK is implicated in a wide range of cancers, making it an intriguing target for cancer therapies.\u003cbr\u003e\nHTRF assays offer many advantages over other technologies:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHomogeneous add-and-read format\u003cbr\u003e\nNo wash steps\u003cbr\u003e\nLow background\u003cbr\u003e\nStraightforward miniaturization from 96- or 384-well microplates to high density assay formats such as 384-well low volume and 1536-well plates\u003cbr\u003e\nStable signal, providing flexibility in time of readout or size of assays\u003cbr\u003e\nHow it works\u003cbr\u003e\nPhospho-MerTK (Tyr749) assay principle\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Phospho-MerTK (Tyr749) assay measures MerTK when phosphorylated at Tyr749. Unlike Western Blot, the assay is entirely plate-based and does not require gels, electrophoresis, or transfer. The assay uses 2 antibodies, one labeled with a donor fluorophore and the other with an acceptor. The first antibody was selected for its specific binding to the phosphorylated motif on the protein, and the second for its ability to recognize the protein independently of its phosphorylation state. Protein phosphorylation enables an immune-complex formation involving both labeled antibodies, and which brings the donor fluorophore into close proximity to the acceptor, thereby generating a FRET signal. Its intensity is directly proportional to the concentration of phosphorylated protein present in the sample and provides a means of assessing the protein's phosphorylation state under a no-wash assay format.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n        \n\n\n\t\u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n  \n\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n        \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n    \n\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n      \n\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n        \n\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n    \n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003ePhospho-MerTK (Tyr749) two-plate assay protocol\u003cbr\u003e\nThe two-plate protocol involves culturing cells in a 96-well plate before lysis, then transferring lysates into a 384-well low volume detection plate before the addition of Phospho-MerTK (Tyr749) HTRF detection reagents.
