Gene information for EPHA5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2044
Official gene symbolEPHA5
Full nameEPH receptor A5
Aliases,CEK7,EHK1,HEK7,TYRO4,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family. 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. The ephrin receptors are divided into 2 groups based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and their affinities for binding ephrin-A and ephrin-B ligands. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
