Description (eCommerce)
MerTK/c-mer is one of three members (Tyro3, Axl, and MerTK/c-mer) of the Tyro 3 subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK). MerTK/c-mer was cloned from a human B-lymphoblastoid cDNA library. MerTK/c-mer Expression is absent in normal lymphocytes but is found to be ectopically expressed in lymphoblasts and in T-cell ALL cell lines. When activated MerTK/c-mer transmits antiapoptotic and transforming signals and may play a significant role in T-cell leukemogenesis.
Description (Vector)
MERTK is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

About Storage Conditions
All our viral products should be kept at -80°C. At this temperature, the virus will remain stable for 6-12 months (and in some cases, up to 2 years). Once thawed, the product can be stored at 4°C for 2-3 weeks without significant loss of biological activity.
We recommend aliquoting your vectors into low protein binding tubes upon receipt. This helps avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles, as well as prevent loss of virus. To maintain accurate titer, aliquot in at least 20ul per tube.
