Web1 sep. 2024 · The receptor tyrosine kinase MERTK is aberrantly expressed in numerous human malignancies, and is a novel target in cancer therapeutics. Physiologic roles of … Web1 nov. 2008 · Function The activation of MERTK and downstream signaling via PI3K/Akt, PLCGamma, VAV1, and MAPK/ERKare thought to mediate MERTKs cellular functions in cell survival, proinflammatory cytokine production, and actin reorganization/cell migration. Overexpression or ectopic expression of MERTK has been implicated in oncogenesis …
Molecular Pathways: MERTK Signaling in Cancer
Web23 dec. 2014 · The data suggest that MerTK cleavage contributes to the acute regulation of RPE phagocytosis by limiting POS binding to the cell surface, and interestingly, stimulation of sMerTK release decreases POS binding. Background: The MerTK receptor is necessary for retinal phagocytosis and its daily rhythm. Results: MerTK is cleaved from the apical … WebAll three MERTK missense variants affect highly conserved residues within functional domains, have low population frequencies and are predicted to be pathogenic in silico. Conclusions We report three missense variants in MERTK and present the associated phenotypic data, which are supportive of non-syndromic RP. clerk of court ny state

WebMerTK is constitutively released from the cell surface by metalloproteinases and thus is present in the serum and culture medium. This process can be enhanced by stimulation with LPS. MerTK can be used to help discriminate macrophages from dendritic cells. MerTK is often expressed on malignant cells and may be implicated in immune evasion. Web31 aug. 2024 · The induction of MerTK on galectin‐3 hi macrophages is essential for their functional maturation including efferocytosis and Spp1 transcriptional activity. MerTK + galectin‐3 hi macrophages showed a strong activation of both STAT3 and ERK (extracellular signal‐regulated kinase). WebMERTK signaling plays a role in various processes such as macrophage clearance of apoptotic cells, platelet aggregation, cytoskeleton reorganization and engulfment. … clerk of court nyc
