Q12866

Cell surface receptor for SEMA4C, SEMA4D and SEMA4G thatplays an important role in cell-cell signaling. Binding to class 4semaphorins promotes downstream activation of RHOA andphosphorylation of ERBB2 at 'Tyr-1248'. Required for normaldifferentiation and migration of neuronal cells during braincorticogenesis and for normal embryonic brain development.Regulates the migration of cerebellar granule cells in thedeveloping brain. Plays a role in RHOA activation and subsequentchanges of the actin cytoskeleton. Plays a role in axon guidance,invasive growth and cell migration. May modulate the activity ofRAC1 and CDC42. Down-regulates macrophage migration in wound-healing assays (in vitro) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250,ECO:0000269|PubMed:12183458, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12533544,ECO:0000269|PubMed:15184888}. 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}.
