Recombinant Human EPH Receptor A2, His-tagged

• Cat.No.: EPHA2-541H
• Product Overview: Recombinant human EPHA2 was expressed by baculovirus inSf9 insect cellsusing an N-terminal His tag. MW=47kDa.

Specification

• Cat. No.: EPHA2-541H
• Description: EPHA2 is a member of the ephrin receptor subfamily of protein-tyrosine kinases that bind the ephrin-A ligand and have diverse cellular function. EPHA2 has been shown to be an oncoprotein of importance in a range of cancers. EPHA2 is overexpressed in several human cancer types and promotes malignancy through a mechanism involving RhoA-dependent destabilization of adherens junctions. EPHA2 overexpression induces a FAK-dependent increase in MMP-2 expression and invasiveness and this process that can be reversed by ligation of EPHA2.
