Product overview
- Human MERTK Antibody Pair is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify Human MERTK in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.
- The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- - Sandwich ELISA
- - FRET/TR-FRET/HTR
- - Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- - Luminex® and bead-based assays
- - AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- - DELFIA® immunoassays
- - Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- - Multiplex
- Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- - Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- - Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
- Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with
- We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
- Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
- Please note:
- The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
- The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
- We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

Function
In case of filovirus infection, seems to function as a cell entry factor. -
Tissue specificity
Not expressed in normal B- and T-lymphocytes but is expressed in numerous neoplastic B- and T-cell lines. -
Involvement in disease
Defects in MERTK are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 38 (RP38) [MIM:613862]. RP38 is a retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. Retinitis pigmentosa is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. AXL/UFO subfamily.
Contains 2 fibronectin type-III domains.
Contains 2 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains.
