Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-MERTK antibody [Y323] - BSA and Azide free (AB271851)
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab52968).
IHC image of MERTK staining in a section of frozen normal human spleen performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab52968, 1/1000 dilution, 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.

Western blot - Anti-MERTK antibody [Y323] - BSA and Azide free (AB271851)
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab52968 ).
Western blot : Anti-MERTK antibody [Y323] (ab52968) staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in magenta. In Western blot, ab52968 was shown to bind specifically to MERTK. A band was observed at 160 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MERTK knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and MERTK knockout A549 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

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.
