Anti-MERTK Antibody

This polyclonal reagent from Antibodies.com specifically recognizes MERTK, a member of the TAM family of receptor tyrosine kinases involved in apoptotic cell clearance (efferocytosis), innate immune regulation, and macrophage biology. Raised in rabbit, the antibody is supplied as 100 µl of unconjugated antiserum and is validated for Western blot (WB) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) workflows against human samples. Investigators studying tumor cell phagocytosis, retinal pigment epithelium function, or autoimmune signaling pathways commonly use MERTK-specific detection reagents to map receptor expression in tissues and confirm protein-level changes in cell-based assays. The unconjugated format allows flexibility in choosing a secondary reporter or fluorescent label suited to a given protocol. For best stability, aliquot upon arrival and store at -20 °C, avoiding repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
