EFNA4

Gene
Efna4
Protein
Ephrin-A4
Organism
Mus musculus
Length
206 amino acids
Function
Cell surface GPI-bound ligand for Eph receptors, a family of receptor tyrosine kinases which are crucial for migration, repulsion and adhesion during neuronal, vascular and epithelial development. Binds promiscuously Eph receptors residing on adjacent cells, leading to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. May play a role in the interaction between activated B-lymphocytes and dendritic cells in tonsils (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the ephrin family.
