background:
EphB1, previously known as Elk (eph like kinase), is a receptor tyrosine kinase of the highly tissue restricted family of eph proteins. EphB1 and other ephB family members are type 1 membrane spanning proteins, comprised of immunoglobulin, fibronectin type III, and cysteine rich subdomains in the ecto domain, and the single uninterrupted cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain upstream of a carboxyterminal sterile alpha motif (SAM) domain. EphB family proteins bind ephrins of the B class. EphB1 is expressed predominately in developing neural structures in embryos, and in vascular epithelium of kidney, and other tissues. Upon binding to alternatively oligomerized ephrin B1, EphB1 signals regulation of cell attachment and cell to cell assembly. Members of this protein family are implicated in neuronal and vascular cell targeting.
Subunit:
Heterotetramer upon binding of the ligand. The heterotetramer is composed of an ephrin dimer and a receptor dimer. Oligomerization is probably required to induce biological responses. Interacts with EPHB6; transphosphorylates EPHB6 to form an active signaling complex. Interacts with PICK1. Interacts (through Tyr-594) with NCK1 (via SH2 domain); activates the JUN cascade to regulate cell adhesion. The ligand-activated form interacts (through Tyr-928) with GRB7 and GRB10 (via SH2 domains). The ligand-activated form interacts (residues within the catalytic domain) with GRB2 (via SH2 domain). Interacts with GRB2, SHC1 and SRC; activates the MAPK/ERK cascade to regulate cell migration. Interacts with CBL; regulates receptor degradation through ubiquitination. Interacts with ACP1.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Preferentially expressed in brain.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated. Autophosphorylation is stimulated by the ligand EFNB1. Required for interaction with SH2 domain-containing interactors, for activation of the MAPK/ERK and JUN signaling cascades and for ubiquitination by CBL.
Ubiquitinated; (EFNB1)ligand-induced poly- and/or multi-ubiquitination by CBL is regulated by SRC and leads to lysosomal degradation.

Contains 1 Eph LBD (Eph ligand-binding) domain.
