TAM Signaling in the Nervous System
Overview

Tyro3, Axl and Mertk are members of the family of tyrosine kinase receptors. TAMs are activated by two structurally homologous ligands and . TAM receptors and ligands are widely distributed and often co-expressed in the same cells allowing diverse functions across many systems including the , reproductive, vascular, and the developing as well as adult . This review will focus specifically on in the nervous system, highlighting the essential roles this pathway fulfills in maintaining cell survival and , cellular functions such as , immunity and tissue repair. Dysfunctional TAM signaling can cause complications in development, disruptions in homeostasis which can rouse autoimmunity, and . The development of therapeutics modulating TAM activities in the nervous system has great prospects, however, foremost we need a complete understanding of TAM signaling pathways.
