Description
EPHA8 is a member of the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family in ahich 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. EPHA8 receptors play a role in axonal pathfinding during development of the mammalian nervous system
