Tyro3

Tyro3 is a member of the TAM (TYRO3, AXL, MER) receptor tyrosine kinase family, which plays critical roles in immune regulation and phagocytosis. It is primarily expressed in the central nervous system and has been implicated in neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases[1]. Tyro3 functions as a receptor for phosphatidylserine (PS), mediating the clearance of apoptotic cells through efferocytosis[2]. This process is essential for maintaining tissue homeostasis and preventing autoimmunity[3]. Recent studies have shown that Tyro3 signaling contributes to microglial quiescence and suppresses pro-inflammatory responses in the brain[4]. Furthermore, dysregulation of Tyro3 has been associated with pathological conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease and multiple sclerosis[5].
