Predicted to enable transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell migration; cell surface receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway; and phagocytosis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 38. Orthologous to human MERTK (MER proto-oncogene, tyrosine kinase).
