General annotation (Comments)

Function

Receptor tyrosine kinase which binds membrane-bound ephrin 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. Highly promiscuous, it has the unique property among Eph receptors to bind and to be physiologically activated by both GPI-anchored ephrin-A and transmembrane ephrin-B ligands including EFNA1 and EFNB3. Upon activation by ephrin ligands, modulates cell morphology and integrin-dependent cell adhesion through regulation of the Rac, Rap and Rho GTPases activity. Plays an important role in the development of the nervous system controlling different steps of axonal guidance including the establishment of the corticospinal projections By similarity.

Catalytic activity

ATP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine = ADP + a [protein]-L-tyrosine phosphate.

Subcellular location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein By similarity. Early endosome By similarity. Note: Clustered upon activation and targeted to early endosome By similarity.

Developmental stage

Expression occurs in R3, R5 and transiently at lower levels in R2.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the protein kinase superfamily. Tyr protein kinase family. Ephrin receptor subfamily.

Contains 1 Eph LBD (Eph ligand-binding) domain.

Contains 2 fibronectin type-III domains.

Contains 1 protein kinase domain.

Contains 1 SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain.
