Background of MERTK antibody

In vertebrate, the photoreceptor cells are the basic sensory apparatus of the retina primarily converting photon energy absorbed from light into neuronal signals. The photoreceptor proximal outer segments are synthesized daily by cell bodies, and outer segment tips are removed with a circadian rhythm. The shed outer segments are endocytosed by adjacent retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells, and are recycled to photoreceptors (1). Mutation of a receptor tyrosine kinase gene, Mertk, in the Royal College of Surgeons (RCS) rat results in defective phagocytosis of photoreceptor outer segments by the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and retinal degeneration (2) resulting in to retinitis pigmentosa.
The receptor tyrosine kinase MERTK protein is a approximately 170-175 kDa (994 amino acids) protein expressed in long evans rat testis and RPEs. The MERTK protein has a tyrosine kinase domain closer to the C-terminal region and putative phosphorylation sites.
