About EFNA4

Cytogenetic location: 1q21.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:155,063,740-155,069,553 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 149 orthologues and 7 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in skin (RPKM 7.7), colon (RPKM 6.4) and 23 other tissues.

Summary

This 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 that has been implicated in proliferation and metastasis of several types of cancers. [provided by RefSeq, May 2022]
