Gene: Mertk (MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase) Rattus norvegicus
Analyze
Symbol: Mertk
Name: MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase
RGD ID: 69283
Description: Predicted to enable transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in phagocytosis and positive regulation of phagocytosis. Located in photoreceptor outer segment. Used to study retinal degeneration. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 38. Orthologous to human MERTK (MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase); INTERACTS WITH 17beta-estradiol; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; alpha-Zearalanol.
Type: protein-coding
RefSeq Status: PROVISIONAL
Previously known as: c-mer proto-oncogene tyrosine kinase; proto-oncogene c-Mer; proto-oncogene tyrosine-protein kinase Mer; Rdy; receptor tyrosine kinase MerTK; Receptor tyrosine tinase gene probably the gene for Rdy; retinal dystrophy; tyrosine-protein kinase Mer
