CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

signal transduction

a component

receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK), which is composed of three members (TYRO3, AXL and MERTK)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	receptor for GAS6 and PROS1
	interacting with RANBP9
	upstream regulator of MITF expression (TYRO3 induces MITF-M expression in a SOX10-dependent manner in melanoma cells)
	TULP1 interacts with TYRO3, AXL and MERTK of the TAM receptor tyrosine kinase subfamily, whereas tubby binds only to MERTK
