Description
Introduction: EPH Receptor A2 (EPHA2) is a member of the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family. EPHA2 is a protein which binds ephrin-A ligands. EPH and EPH-related receptors are associated with mediating developmental events, particularly in the nervous system. Receptors in the EPH subfamily normally 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 two groups based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and their affinities for binding ephrin-A and ephrin-B ligands. EPHA2 gene mutations are the cause of certain genetically-related cataract disorders.
Description: EPHA2 Human Recombinant produced in HEK cells is a single, glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Ala24-Glu530) containing a total of 515 amino acids, having a calculated molecular mass of 56.9kDa. The EPHA2 protein is fused to a 2 aa C-terminal linker and a 6 aa C-terminal His tag
