MERTK

Q12866

Receptor tyrosine kinase that transduces signals fromthe extracellular matrix into the cytoplasm by binding to severalligands including LGALS3, TUB, TULP1 or GAS6. Regulates manyphysiological processes including cell survival, migration,differentiation, and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells(efferocytosis). Ligand binding at the cell surface inducesautophosphorylation of MERTK on its intracellular domain thatprovides docking sites for downstream signaling molecules.Following activation by ligand, interacts with GRB2 or PLCG2 andinduces phosphorylation of MAPK1, MAPK2, FAK/PTK2 or RAC1. MERTKsignaling plays a role in various processes such as macrophageclearance of apoptotic cells, platelet aggregation, cytoskeletonreorganization and engulfment. Functions in the retinal pigmentepithelium (RPE) as a regulator of rod outer segments fragmentsphagocytosis. Plays also an important role in inhibition of Toll-like receptors (TLRs)-mediated innate immune response byactivating STAT1, which selectively induces production ofsuppressors of cytokine signaling SOCS1 and SOCS3.{ECO:0000269|PubMed:17005688}.
