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. This gene is mapped to 2q13. MERTK signaling plays a role in various processes such as macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, platelet aggregation, cytoskeleton reorganization and engulfment. This gene is also very important in inhibition of Toll-like receptors(TLRs)-mediated innate immune response by activating STAT1, which selectively induces production of suppressors of cytokine signaling SOCS1 and SOCS3.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anti-MerTK antibody is supplied as Antigen affinity purified (Rabbit, Polyclonal (rabbit origin), Rabbit IgG, Unconjugated) and is designed to support common target-detection workflows after the on-page specifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey elements and design rationale\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTarget:\u003c\/strong\u003e MerTK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antigen affinity purified\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies reactivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Human, Mouse, Rat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplications (listed):\u003c\/strong\u003e WB, IHC-P, FACS, Direct ELISA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConjugate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unconjugated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClone and antibody class:\u003c\/strong\u003e Polyclonal (rabbit origin), Rabbit IgG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause antibody performance can depend on epitope context, sample preparation, and biological state, interpret signals using appropriate controls and orthogonal evidence when possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBiological background\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eMerTK is referenced in public gene\/protein resources (e.g., UniProt and NCBI Gene), which provide curated names\/synonyms, protein features, and pathway context.
