Rabbit Anti-Eph receptor A1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
This gene belongs to the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family. EPH and EPH-related receptors have been implicated in mediating developmental events, particularly in the nervous system. Receptors in the EPH subfamily typically have a single kinase domain and an extracellular region containing a Cys-rich domain and 2 fibronectin type III repeats. The ephrin receptors are divided into 2 groups based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and their affinities for binding ephrin-A and ephrin-B ligands. This gene is expressed in some human cancer cell lines and has been implicated in carcinogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
The Eph family of receptors comprises the largest known family of receptor tyrosine kinases. Ligands of Eph family receptors are structurally related membrane-bound proteins that can be subdivided into two major subclasses, ephrin-A and ephrin-B. Expression of Eph receptors is tissue specific and appears to be tied to developmental events. Ligands in the ephrin-A subclass, including the prototype family member ephrin-A1 (B61), are membrane associated through glycosylphosphatidyl-inositol linkages, whereas ephrin-B subclass consists of ligands with transmembrane domains. The general role of the Eph family is in mediating repulsive cell-cell interaction.
Subunit:
Homodimer. Forms a signaling complex with LCK; PTK2B/PYK2 and PI3-kinase upon activation by EFNA1; regulates T-lymphocytes migration. Interacts (via SAM domain) with ILK (via ANK repeats); stimulated by EFNA1 but independent of the kinase activity of EPHA1. Interacts (kinase activity-dependent) with PTK2/FAK1.
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated. Autophosphorylation is stimulated by its ligand EFNA1.
Ubiquitinated.
Similarity:
Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Ephrin receptor subfamily.
Contains 1 Eph LBD (Eph ligand-binding) domain.
Contains 2 fibronectin type-III domains.
Contains 1 protein kinase domain.
Contains 1 SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain.
