Description
Description: Ephrins are a family of molecules which bind to tyrosine kinase receptor Eph. The Eph receptor and their membrane-attached ligands, ephrins, show diverse expression patterns during development. The crucial roles of Eph and ephrins during development suggest involvement of these genes in congenital disorders affecting the nervous system and other tissues. Eph receptors and ephrins may be involved in carcinogenesis. Applications:
