Figure 1. MERTK structure and mutations. a, The 19 coding exons of human MERTK (GenBank AF260514−529) are depicted, along with segments encoding various functional domains of the protein: immunoglobulin-like (Ig-like), fibronectin-like (FN-like), transmembrane (TM) and tyrosine kinase (TK). Vertical arrows show the locations of identified mutations. Dashed lines indicate that exons 1 and 19 include untranslated sequences that are not depicted. b, Electropherograms demonstrating mutant (top) and normal (bottom) sequences. An arrow indicates the intron 10/exon 11 boundary.
