Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-MERTK antibody [EPR17534-139] - BSA and Azide free (AB250715)
This data was developed using ab184086, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse spleen tissue labeling MERTK with ab184086 at 1/1000 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution. Membranous staining on mouse spleen (PMID : 19631584) is observed. Counterstained with hematoxylin.
Secondary antibody only control : Used PBS instead of primary antibody, secondary antibody is Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution.
Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with Tris/EDTA buffer pH 9.0 before commencing with IHC staining protocol.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded mouse liver tissue labeling MERTK with ab184086 at 1/1000 dilution, followed by Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (HRP) (ab97051) at 1/500 dilution. Positive staining on hepatic sinusoids of mouse liver (PMID : 23799121) is observed. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-MERTK antibody [EPR17534-139] - BSA and Azide free (AB250715)
IHC image of MERTK staining in a section of frozen mouse normal liver performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument using the standard protocol. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab184086, 0.5ugml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody. For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times. This data was developed using ab184086, the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation.

The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab184086, 0.1ugml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen.

Biological function summary
The receptor MERTK orchestrates processes critical for maintaining cellular homeostasis such as efferocytosis and immune response regulation. It does not operate alone but often interacts with other cellular components to form functional complexes. This protein contributes significantly to phagocytosis a cellular process for clearing apoptotic cells ensuring a controlled immune environment.
Pathways
Several signal transduction pathways involve c-Mer tyrosine kinase in maintaining cellular communication. Notably it participates in the RAS/MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways which are essential for cell survival and proliferation. These pathways involve interactions with proteins such as GAB1 and SOS highlighting the receptor's integration in cell signaling networks.
