ncbi summary :
This gene is a member of the MER/AXL/TYRO3 receptor kinase family and encodes a transmembrane protein with two fibronectin type-III domains, two Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domains, and one tyrosine kinase domain. Mutations in this gene have been associated with disruption of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) phagocytosis pathway and onset of autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (RP).

uniprot summary :
Mer: a proto-oncogene receptor tyrosine-protein kinase of the Axl family. Binds several ligands including LGALS3, Tubby, TULP1 or GAS6. Regulates many physiological processes including cell survival, migration, differentiation, and phagocytosis of apoptotic cells (efferocytosis). Functions in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) as a regulator of rod outer segments fragments phagocytosis. Plays also an important role in inhibition of Toll-like receptors (TLRs)-mediated innate immune response by activating STAT1, which selectively induces production of suppressors of cytokine signaling SOCS1 and SOCS3. Protein type: EC 2.7.10.1; Oncoprotein; Protein kinase, TK; Protein kinase, tyrosine (receptor); Kinase, protein; Membrane protein, integral; TK group; Axl family. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 2q14.1. Cellular Component: extracellular space; photoreceptor outer segment; integral to plasma membrane; cytoplasm; plasma membrane. Molecular Function: protein binding; transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase activity; ATP binding. Biological Process: negative regulation of lymphocyte activation; platelet activation; peptidyl-tyrosine phosphorylation; vagina development; protein amino acid phosphorylation; phagocytosis; cell surface receptor linked signal transduction; cell-cell signaling; retina development in camera-type eye; natural killer cell differentiation; positive regulation of phagocytosis; protein kinase B signaling cascade; spermatogenesis; blood coagulation; leukocyte migration; apoptotic cell clearance; secretion by cell.
