凋亡细胞的清除对组织稳态和炎症的修复很关键。MerTK是巨噬细胞表面的一类蛋白质，它能够调节炎症修复，效应细胞增生。通过与凋亡细胞表面翻转的磷酯酰丝氨酸结合，能够发生吞噬作用。此外，巨噬细胞还能够抑制NF-KB信号通路。有研究表明，MerTK信号能够促进SPM(炎症损伤修复过程依赖于特定的调节因子)的合成。MerTK 在静息巨噬细胞中及免疫抑制期间是作为一种耐受性受体。它属于酪氨酸激酶受体中的TAM家族，在组织巨噬细胞中表达。因此，MerTK和CD64的双重表达正成为巨噬细胞的界定标准，并帮助将组织巨噬细胞从树突状细胞中区分出来。
MerTK能调节巨噬细胞活化，促进凋亡细胞的吞噬，帮助血小板聚集，并维持体内血块的稳定。MerTK在多种类型的癌症中会发生过表达或异位表达，如白血病、非小细胞肺癌、黑色素瘤和前列腺癌等，这可能会导致若干典型的致癌信号传导途径的活化。

Human monocyte-derived macrophages cultured in the presence of Human M-CSF Recombinant Protein (cat. 14-8789) and dexamethazone were stained with Anti-Human CD11b APC (cat. 17-0118) and Mouse IgG1 K Isotype Control PE (cat. 12-4714) (left) or Anti-Human MerTK PE (right). Total viable cells, as determined by Fixable Viability Dye eFluor® 450 (cat. 65-0863), were used for analysis. |
