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.

Protein Biology

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 (PubMed:17332925, PubMed:18794797). Involved in angiogenesis, regulating vascular endothelial cell differentiation and migration through activation of EPHA2. Acts as a ligand for EPHA3, inhibiting epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition of cardiac cells and playing a role in heart development (PubMed:12794130). May also contribute to dendritic spine morphogenesis (By similarity)

Subcellular Location

Secreted

Tissue Specificity

Brain. Down-regulated in primary glioma tissues compared to the normal tissues. The soluble monomeric form is expressed in the glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) and breast cancer cells (at protein level)

Subunit

Monomer. Homodimer. Forms heterodimers with EPHA2. Binds to the receptor tyrosine kinases EPHA2, EPHA3, EPHA4, EPHA5, EPHA6 and EPHA7. Also binds with low affinity to EPHA1

Gene: EFNA1  |  Organism: Homo sapiens  |  Synonyms: EPH-related receptor tyrosine kinase ligand 1; Immediate early response protein B61; Tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 4
