Description
Ephrin-B3, also known as EFNB3, is a member of the ephrin gene family. Ephrin-B3 is important in brain development as well as in its maintenance. Moreover, since levels of EFNB3 expression are particularly high in several forebrain subregions compared to other brain subregions, it may play a pivotal role in forebrain function. The EPH and EPH-related receptors comprise the largest subfamily of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and have been implicated in mediating developmental events, particularly in the nervous system
