InnateDB Annotation

Summary

PMID 23954153

Viruses engage Tyro3/Axl/Mertk (TAM) receptors in order to inhibit host type I IFN signalling.

InnateDB Annotation from Orthologs

Summary

PMID 18083102

[Homo sapiens] MERTK is a tyrosine protein kinase, it acts with TYRO3 and AXL as pleiotropic inhibitor of the innate immune response in DCs.

Entrez Gene

Summary

This gene does not have any Entrez summary - the following is the summary from its human ortholog ENSG00000153208:
This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).
