Synonyms | EPLG5, HTKL, LERK5 |
Function | Cell surface transmembrane 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. The signaling pathway downstream of the receptor is referred to as forward signaling while the signaling pathway downstream of the ephrin ligand is referred to as reverse signaling. Binds to receptor tyrosine kinase including EPHA4, EPHA3 and EPHB4. Together with EPHB4 plays a central role in heart morphogenesis and angiogenesis through regulation of cell adhesion and cell migration. EPHB4-mediated forward signaling controls cellular repulsion and segregation from EFNB2-expressing cells. May play a role in constraining the orientation of longitudinally projecting axons. |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the ephrin (EPH) family. Theephrins and EPH-related receptors comprise the largest subfamily ofreceptor protein-tyrosine kinases and have been implicated inmediating developmental events, especially in the nervous systemand in erythropoiesis. Based on their structures and sequencerelationships, ephrins are divided into the ephrin-A (EFNA) class,which are anchored to the membrane by aglycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage, and the ephrin-B (EFNB)class, which are transmembrane proteins. This gene encodes an EFNBclass ephrin which binds to the EPHB4 and EPHA3 receptors.
