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
  • Spaces will be interpreted literally in the search. Use the percentage character '%' as a wildcard to search for multiple values
  • When searching for values delimited by '%', searches are ordered by their appearance in the text. (i.e. 'A%C' will likely return different results than 'C%A')
  • Precede text with a caret '^' to indicate search should "start with" the text
  • Follow text with a dollar sign '$' to indicate search should "end with" the preceding text

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.
