Gene information for EFNA4 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1945
Official gene symbolEFNA4
Full nameephrin-A4
Aliases,EFL4,EPLG4,LERK4,MGC125826,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the ephrin (EPH) family. The ephrins and EPH-related receptors comprise the largest subfamily of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and have been implicated in mediating developmental events, especially in the nervous system and in erythropoiesis. 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. This gene encodes an EFNA class ephrin. Three transcript variants that encode distinct proteins have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
