MERTK is a receptor tyrosine kinase of the TAM (Tyro3, Axl, MERTK) family, which preferentially is expressed by macrophages, dendritic cells, and natural killer cells. It plays an important role in processes such as macrophage activation, apoptotic cell engulfment, platelet aggregation, and clot stability. MERTK can be activated by dimerization and autophosphorylation through ligand binding or homophilic cell-cell interaction mediated by its NCAM-like motif. The downstream signaling components include PI3 kinase, PLCγ, and MAP kinase. MERTK is upregulated in a wide variety of cancers including leukemia, non-small cell lung cancer, glioblastoma, melanoma, prostate cancer, breast cancer, colon cancer, and gastric cancer.
