Gene Symbol MERTK
Synonyms c-Eyk | c-mer | MER | RP38 | Tyro12
Gene Description MERTK, MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase, binds ligands, LGALS3, TUB, TULP1 and GAS6, to activate downstream signaling pathways including ERK and AKT (PMID: 29554921) and plays a role in phagocytosis of apoptotic cells (PMID: 28369510). MERTK overexpression has been observed in mantle cell lymphoma (PMID: 29554921), glioblastoma multiforme (PMID: 29553850), gastric cancer (PMID: 29285287), and is associated with resistance to Braf inhibition in Braf mutant melanoma (PMID: 29050198).

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

Variant Impact Protein Effect Variant Description Associated with drug Resistance
act mut unknown gain of function MERTK act mut indicates that this variant results in a gain of function in the Mertk protein. However, the specific amino acid change has not been identified.
amp none no effect MERTK amplification indicates an increased number of copies of the MERTK gene. However, the mechanism causing the increase is unspecified.
over exp none no effect MERTK over exp indicates an over expression of the Mertk protein and/or mRNA. However, the mechanism causing the over expression is unspecified. Y
positive unknown unknown MERTK positive indicates the presence of the MERTK gene, mRNA, and/or protein.
