Recombinant Human MERTK, GST-tagged, Active

• Cat.No.: MERTK-258H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human c-MER (578-872) was expressed by baculovirus inSf9 insect cellsusing an N-terminal GST tag.

Specification

• Cat. No.: MERTK-258H
• Description: c-MER is a tyrosine kinase and a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family. The c-MER gene encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Functional knockout of c-MER in mice shows the mice to have macrophages deficient in the clearance of apoptotic thymocytes thereby demonstrating the critical role for c-MER in the engulfment and efficient clearance of apoptotic cells. Defects in c-MER have been associated with retinitis pigmentosa, a phenotype that can be reversed by replacement of the c-MER gene product.
• Source: Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus.
• Sequence: 578-872.
• Applications: Kinase Assay, Western Blot.
• Storage And Stability: Store product at -70°C. For optimal storage, aliquot target into smaller quantities after centrifugation and store at recommended temperature. For most favorable performance, avoid repeated handling and multiple freeze/thaw cycles.
