Anti-EPHA4 Antibody Picoband®

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.

EPHA4; HEK8; SEK; TYRO1; Ephrin type-A receptor 4; EC 2.7.10.1; EPH-like kinase 8; EK8; hEK8; Tyrosine-protein kinase TYRO1; Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor SEK

A synthetic peptide corresponding to a sequence at the C-terminus of human EPHA4. Human EPHA4 shares 100% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse EPHA4.
