Revvity HTRF Human Total MerTK Detection Kit, 500 Assay Points

MerTK (Myeloid-Epithelial-Reproductive Tyrosine Kinase) is a transmembrane tyrosine kinase receptor predominantly expressed in dendritic cells, macrophages, epithelial cells, and cells of the reproductive tract. When stimulated by ligands such as Protein S or Gas6, activated MerTK confers a survival advantage to cancer cells by promoting their survival, enhancing migration, and inhibiting apoptosis. The overexpression of MerTK is implicated in a wide range of cancers, making it an intriguing target for cancer therapies research.
