EFNB1 / Ephrin-B1 Protein Description

The ephrins (Eph) and Eph receptors comprise the largest subfamily of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and have been implicated in developmental events, especially in the nervous system and in erythropoiesis. Based on their structures and sequence relationships, ephrins are divided into the ephrin-A (EFNA) class, which are anchored to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage, and the ephrin-B (EFNB) class, which are transmembrane proteins. All ephrins share a conserved extracellular sequence, which most likely corresponds to the receptor-binding domain. In molecular biology, ephrins and Eph receptors are components of cell signaling pathways involved in animal development, and implicated in some cancers. ephrin-B1, also known as LERK-2, ELK-L, EFL-3, Cek5-L, and STRA-1, is a member of the ephrin ligand family which binds members of the Eph receptor family. Ephrin-B1 has been shown to bind EphA3, EphB1, EphB2, EphB3, and EphB4. The extracellular domains of human and mouse ephrin-B1 share 94% amino acid identity.
