3D structures of ephrin
Updated on 18-June-2024
FunctionEphrins (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 [1]. See also Ephrin receptor, Eph/ephrin signaling pathway, Ephrin Type-A Receptor.
DiseaseEph-A5 is implicated in spinal cord injury. Eph-A1 is implicated in myocardial injury and renal reperfusion injury. Structural highlightsEphrin-A5 receptor-binding domain complex with ephrin type A receptor 2 (PDB code 3mx0).[3]
