Recombinant Human EPHA2 Protein (R561-I976), GST tagged

• Cat.No.: EPHA2-0986H
• Product Overview: Recombinant Human GST-TEV-GG-EPHA2(R561-I976 end) Protein was expressed in Insect cell.

Specification

• Description: Receptor tyrosine kinase which binds promiscuously membrane-bound ephrin-A family ligands residing on adjacent cells, leading to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. The signaling pathway downstream of the receptor is referred to as forward signaling while the signaling pathway downstream of the ephrin ligand is referred to as reverse signaling. Activated by the ligand ephrin-A1/EFNA1 regulates migration, integrin-mediated adhesion, proliferation and differentiation of cells. Regulates cell adhesion and differentiation through DSG1/desmoglein-1 and inhibition of the ERK1/ERK2 (MAPK3/MAPK1, respectively) signaling pathway. May also participate in UV radiation-induced apoptosis and have a ligand-independent stimulatory effect on chemotactic cell migration. During development, may function in distinctive aspects of pattern formation and subsequently in development of several fetal tissues. Involved for instance in angiogenesis, in early hindbrain development and epithelial proliferation and branching morphogenesis during mammary gland development. Engaged by the ligand ephrin-A5/EFNA5 may regulate lens fiber cells shape and interactions and be important for lens transparency development and maintenance. With ephrin-A2/EFNA2 may play a role in bone remodeling through regulation of osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis.

Q&As

What are the treatment strategies for EPHA2?

Therapeutic strategies for EPHA2 include inhibition of its expression, blocking its signal transduction pathway, and modulating its interaction with ligands. These strategies may involve the use of small molecule inhibitors, antibodies, or other types of therapeutics.

How does EPHA2 expression level relate to the occurrence and progression of the disease?

The expression level of EPHA2 is associated with the occurrence and progression of a variety of diseases. For example, in tumors such as lung, breast, and colorectal cancer, EPHA2 expression levels may be elevated and correlated with the degree of malignancy and poor prognosis of the tumor.

How does EPHA2 expression level relate to tumor prognosis?

In some tumors, EPHA2 expression levels are associated with poor prognosis in patients. For example, patients with lung cancer who express EPHA2 often have shorter survival. Therefore, the expression level of EPHA2 may be one of the indicators to predict tumor prognosis.

How can diseases be diagnosed by detecting EPHA2 expression levels?

Some diseases can be diagnosed by measuring EPHA2 expression levels, such as immunohistochemistry, western blotting, and real-time PCR.

Could EPHA2 be used as a target for the treatment of certain diseases?

Yes, EPHA2 can be used as a target for the treatment of certain diseases. For example, inhibition of EPHA2 expression can inhibit tumor growth and spread, so EPHA2 can serve as a potential therapeutic target. In addition, regulating the expression level of EPHA2 may also be helpful in the treatment of diseases such as the nervous system and cardiovascular system.

What is the role of EPHA2 in cancer metastasis?

EPHA2 can promote cancer metastasis and affect the spread and spread of cancer by regulating processes such as invasion and migration of tumor cells. Therefore, inhibition of EPHA2 expression or blocking its signal transduction pathway may have a potential therapeutic effect on inhibiting cancer metastasis.
