Function

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 [1]. See also Ephrin receptor, Eph/ephrin signaling pathway, Ephrin Type-A Receptor.

  • Ephrin-A3 has a role in forming precise tonotropy in the auditory brainstem to ensure accurate sound discrimination[2].
  • Ephrin-A5 is required for the proper guidance and mapping of retinal axons in the mammalian midbrain[3].
  • Ephrin-B1 has a role in palatal shelf outgrowth[4].
  • Ephrin-B2 is a regulator of VEGFR signalling and thus controls angiogenic growth[5].
  • Ephrin-B3 plays a key role at the midline to regulate axonal crossing[6].

Disease

Eph-A5 is implicated in spinal cord injury. Eph-A1 is implicated in myocardial injury and renal reperfusion injury.
