Summary

The gene is part of a 3-member transmembrane receptor kinase receptor family with a processed pseudogene distal on chromosome 15. The encoded protein is activated by the products of the growth arrest-specific gene 6 and protein S genes and is involved in controlling cell survival and proliferation, spermatogenesis, immunoregulation and phagocytosis. The encoded protein has also been identified as a cell entry factor for Ebola and Marburg viruses. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Forensic Context

A study in porcine skin demonstrated that cutaneous bromine exposure significantly decreased the expression of the TYRO3 gene across all experimental groups (45-second and 8-minute exposures at 24 hours and 7 days post-exposure) [Price et al. DOI:10.1016/j.toxlet.2008.08.007].
