    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in the protection of neurons from apoptosis
  • involved in the regulation of spermatogenesis
  • involved in cell adhesion
  • Tyro 3 RTK subfamily plays important roles in regulating hemostasis, megakaryocytopoiesis and platelet function
  • Tyro 3 RTK subfamily plays important roles in regulating hemostasis, megakaryocytopoiesis and platelet function
  • 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
