Gene information for MERTK (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10461
Official gene symbolMERTK
Full namec-mer proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase
Aliases,MER,MGC133349,RP38,c-mer,
Gene summaryThis 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).
