EFNA2 blocking peptide
EFNA2 Peptide - middle region
Target Description: This gene encodes a member of the ephrin family. The protein is composed of a signal sequence, a receptor-binding region, a spacer region, and a hydrophobic region. 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. Based on their structures and sequence relationships, ephrins are divided into the ephrin-A (EFNA) class, which are anchored to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage, and the ephrin-B (EFNB) class, which are transmembrane proteins. Posttranslational modifications determine whether this protein localizes to the nucleus or the cytoplasm.

Uniprot Description
EFNA2: Cell surface GPI-bound ligand for Eph receptors, a family of receptor tyrosine kinases which are crucial for migration, repulsion and adhesion during neuronal, vascular and epithelial development. Binds promiscuously Eph receptors residing on adjacent cells, leading to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. The signaling pathway downstream of the receptor is referred to as forward signaling while the signaling pathway downstream of the ephrin ligand is referred to as reverse signaling. With the EPHA2 receptor may play a role in bone remodeling through regulation of osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis. Belongs to the ephrin family.
Protein type: Membrane protein, GPI anchor; Ligand, receptor tyrosine kinase
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 19p13.3
Cellular Component: extracellular region; plasma membrane; perikaryon; neuromuscular junction
Molecular Function: ephrin receptor binding
Biological Process: axon guidance; cell-cell signaling; olfactory bulb development; ephrin receptor signaling pathway; osteoclast differentiation; bone remodeling
