Evolutionarily conserved highly regulated process of apoptosis has been a major physiological process throughout the entire evolutionary history of living beings that has impacted the process of evolution itself. One of the key features of this highly researched field of science is the process of phosphatidylserine (PS) externalization by the different membrane bound enzymes. The process is a result of series of biological events and is associated with various biological outcomes depending on the proper recognition of this ligand. In this review, we will briefly summarize the recent advancement in the field pertaining to the set of receptors, known as TAM (Tyro3, Axl and Mertk) receptors, for their influence in the recognition of various PS externalization events and mediation of pathological outcomes such as autoimmunity, cancer, and tissue repair.
