Entrez gene summary

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 encodes a protein that binds ephrin-A ligands. Mutations in this gene are the cause of certain genetically-related cataract disorders.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Staining summary

Most normal tissues showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Strong staining was found in parietal cells of stomach, in glandular cells of salivary, thyroid and parathyroid glands and in granular layer of cerebellum. Membranous staining was observed only in the fallopian tube.
