About TYRO3
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]

About Alexa Fluor 680
Alexa Fluor™ 680 (AF680, Alexa 680) has an excitation peak at 679 nm and an emission peak at 702 nm, and is spectrally similar to Cy®5.5 (GE Healthcare), IR680® (Licor), iFluor® 680 (ATT Bioquest) and iFluor® 700 (ATT Bioquest). Alexa 680 is commonly used for flow cytometry, fluorescence microscopy and super-resolution microscopy.
