Abstract
The TAM receptor tyrosine kinases Tyro3, Axl, and Mer and their ligands Gas6 and Protein S are essential for the phagocytosis of apoptotic cells and membranes in the adult immune, nervous, and reproductive systems. Genetic studies indicate that this receptor-ligand system is central to apoptotic cell engulfment that is triggered by the 'eat-me' signal phosphatidylserine (PtdSer). At the same time, TAM signaling is normally activated by Toll-like...
