Mertk - MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase Gene

Also Known as rdy

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 65037

Summary

Predicted to enable transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in phagocytosis; positive regulation of phagocytosis; and protein phosphorylation. 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
