« Hide More detailed introduction
Ephrin receptors are a family of 15 RTKs (the largest family of RTKs) with two identified subfamilies (EphA and EphB), which have a role in the regulation of neuronal development, cell migration, patterning and angiogenesis. Their ligands are membrane-associated proteins, thought to be glycosylphosphatidylinositol-linked for EphA (ephrin-A1 (EFNA1, P20827) , ephrin-A2 (EFNA2, O43921), ephrin-A3 (EFNA3, P52797), ephrin-A4 (EFNA4, P52798) and ephrin-A5 (EFNA5, P52803)) and 1TM proteins for Ephrin B (ENSFM00250000002014: ephrin-B1 (EFNB1, P98172), ephrin-B2 (EFNB2, P52799) and ephrin-B3 (EFNB3, Q15768)), although the relationship between ligands and receptors has been incompletely defined.
