Scientific Data Images for Mouse Mer Antibody
Detection of Mer in J774A.1 Mouse Cell Line by Flow Cytometry.
J774A.1 mouse reticulum cell sarcoma macrophage cell line was stained with Goat Anti-Mouse Mer Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF591, filled histogram) or control antibody (Catalog # AB-108-C, open histogram), followed by Allophycocyanin-conjugated Anti-Goat IgG Secondary Antibody (Catalog # F0108).
Mer in Mouse Testis.
Mer was detected in perfusion fixed frozen sections of mouse testis using Goat Anti-Mouse Mer Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF591) at 1 µg/mL for 1 hour at room temperature followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte™ HRP Polymer Antibody (Catalog # VC004). Tissue was stained using DAB (brown) and counterstained with hematoxylin (blue). Specific staining was localized to sperm cells.

Mer in Mouse Kidney Using Dual RNAscope®ISH and IHC.
Mer mRNA was detected in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue sections of mouse kidney probed with ACD RNAScope®Probe (Catalog # 441241) and stained using ACD RNAscope®2.5 HD Detection Reagents-Red (top image, Catalog # 32260). Adjacent tissue section was processed for immunohistochemistry using R&D Systems Goat Anti-Mouse Mer Antigen Affinity-purified Polyclonal Antibody (Catalog # AF591) at 1 ug/mL with overnight incubation at 4 °C followed by incubation with the Anti-Goat IgG VisUCyte HRP Polymer Antibody (R&D Systems, Catalog # VC004) and DAB chromogen (lower image, yellow-brown). Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin (blue).Applications for Mouse Mer Antibody

Background: Mer
Axl (Ufo, Ark), Dtk (Sky, Tyro3, Rse, Brt) and Mer (human and mouse homologues of chicken c-Eyk) constitute a receptor tyrosine kinase subfamily. The extracellular domains of these proteins contain two Ig-like motifs and two fibronectin type III motifs. This characteristic topology is also found in neural cell adhesion molecules and in receptor tyrosine phosphatases. These receptors bind the vitamin K-dependent protein growth-arrest-specific gene 6 (Gas6) which is structurally related to the anticoagulation factor protein S. Binding of Gas6 induces receptor autophosphorylation and downstream signaling pathways that can lead to cell proliferation, migration or the prevention of apoptosis. Studies suggest that this family of tyrosine kinase receptors may be involved in hematopoiesis, embryonic development, tumorigenesis and regulation of testicular functions (1, 2).
