efn-4

Gene
efn-4
Protein
Ephrin-4
Organism
Caenorhabditis briggsae
Length
354 amino acids
Function
Regulates the formation or stabilization of cell-cell contacts at several stages of epithelial morphogenesis. In early embryonic development, involved in ventral closure of the epidermis. During male tail morphogenesis, regulates precursor cell sorting together with mab-20 and allows the formation of distinct sensory rays. Probably acts as a ligand for lad-2 to regulate axon guidance of several neurons including SDQL, SDQR, SMD and PLN neurons during neurogenesis.
Similarity
Belongs to the ephrin family.
