'''Ephrins''' (Eph) are the membrane-bound ligands of ephrin receptors. The binding of Eph and ephrin receptors is achieved via cell-cell interaction. Eph/Eph receptor signaling regulates embryonic development, guidance of axon growth, long-term potentiation, angiogenesis and stem-cell differentiation <ref>PMID:17420126</ref>. See also [[Ephrin receptor]], [[Eph/ephrin signaling pathway]], [[Ephrin Type-A Receptor]]. | '''Ephrins''' (Eph) are the membrane-bound ligands of ephrin receptors.
