  • Specification
  • Gene Information
  • Related Products
Description : 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.

Q&As (7)

Ask a question
How does EPHA4 contribute to physiological processes and what is its specific role? 09/21/2021

EPHA4 is a member of the ephrin receptor family of protein kinases that plays an important role in neural development and synaptic plasticity. It is involved in axon guidance, neuronal migration, and cell proliferation.

What roles does the protein EPHA4 play in neuronal development? 01/19/2020

EPHA4 plays a critical role in neuronal development as a member of the Eph receptor family, which are receptor tyrosine kinases involved in various cellular processes. Specifically, EPHA4 regulates axon growth and guidance, acting as a repulsive cue to guide axons in the developing nervous system. Its involvement extends to synaptic plasticity and neuronal survival. Dysregulation of EPHA4 has been linked to neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and neuropathic pain. Further research on the precise mechanisms and downstream signaling pathways of EPHA4 will deepen our understanding of its role in neuronal development and potential therapeutic applications.

How is EPHA4 expression regulated during development? 07/20/2019

EPHA4 expression is tightly regulated during nervous system development, with its expression gradually increasing during embryonic development. Additionally, EPHA4 expression is spatially regulated, with high levels in specific regions of the nervous system. Regulation of EPHA4 expression is mediated by several mechanisms, including transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms.

How is EPHA4 involved in synaptic plasticity? 04/03/2018

EPHA4 is essential for normal synaptic plasticity, with its activation leading to the modulation of various synaptic proteins, such as AMPA receptors, NMDA receptors, and EphB receptors. Dysregulation of EPHA4-mediated signaling has been implicated in multiple neurodegenerative disorders, affecting both synaptic plasticity and axon growth.

What are the signaling mechanisms activated by EPHA4? 03/31/2018

EPHA4 signaling is initiated by binding to its ligands, which leads to activation of downstream signaling pathways. Several signaling pathways are activated by EPHA4, including the MAP kinase pathway, the PI3K-Akt pathway, and the RhoA-ROCK pathway, which play critical roles in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton dynamics.

Can EPHA4 be targeted therapeutically to treat neurodegenerative diseases? 04/07/2017

EPHA4 has emerged as a promising therapeutic target for various neurodegenerative diseases, and several pharmacological inhibitors have been developed to target EPHA4 signaling. These inhibitors have shown efficacy in preclinical models of several neurodegenerative diseases, suggesting their potential in clinical applications.

What is the role of genetic variants in the EPHA4 gene in neurodegenerative diseases? 09/29/2016

There is growing evidence that genetic variants in the EPHA4 gene may contribute to the susceptibility to neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. These variants have been shown to modify EPHA4 expression and function, and may contribute to disease pathogenesis via several mechanisms, including synaptic dysfunction and axon degeneration.
