Ephrin-A1 (Ephrin A1, EPH-Related Receptor Tyrosine Kinase Ligand 1, LERK-1, Immediate early Response Protein B61, Tumor Necrosis Factor alpha-induced Protein 4, TNF alpha-induced Protein 4, EPLG1, LERK1, TNFAIP4, EFNA1)

The Eph subfamily represents the largest group of receptor protein kinases identified to date. There is increasing evidence that Eph family members are involved in central nervous system function and in development. Ligands for Eph receptors include ephrin-A1 (LERK-1/B61), identified as a ligand for the EphA2 (Eck) receptor; ephrin-A2 (ELF-1), identified as a ligand for the EphA3 and EphA4 (Sek) receptors; ephrin-A3 (LERK-3), identified as a ligand for EphA5 (Ehk1) and EphA3 (Hek) receptors; ephrin-A4 (LERK-4), identified as a ligand for the EphA3 receptor; ephrin-A5 (AL-1), identified as a ligand...
