About EPHA4

Cytogenetic location: 2q36.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 2:221,418,027-221,574,202 (from NCBI)

This gene has 14 transcripts (splice variants), 235 orthologues, 53 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Broad expression in brain (RPKM 16.1), testis (RPKM 9.3) and 17 other tissues.

Summary

This 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. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
