Description
Recombinant human EPHA8 (565-end) was expressed by baculovirus in Sf9 insect cells using an N-terminal GST tag.
Scientific Background: 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 (1). EPHA8 receptors play a role in axonal pathfinding during development of the mammalian nervous system (2)
