Gene Description TYRO3, TYRO3 protein tyrosine kinase, is a member of the TAM family (Tyro3, Axl, and Mer) and plays a role in regulation of the immune system and cell survival, migration, and differentiation through activation of PI3K and AKT (PMID: 30322068, PMID: 20546121). Overexpression of Tyro3 has been observed in leukemia, thyroid cancer, metastatic colorectal cancer, and melanoma (PMID: 30322068), and is associated with metastasis and poor prognosis in gastric cancer (PMID: 32018224) and pancreatic cancer (PMID: 31765735).
