Recombinant Human EPHA2 Protein with C-terminal6Ã-His tag

Expression Host : HEK293 The protein has a predicted molecular mass of 57.0 kDa after removal of the signal peptide. The apparent molecular mass of EPHA2-His is approximately 55-70 kDa due to glycosylation. 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. This gene encodes a protein that binds ephrin-A ligands. Mutations in this gene are the cause of certain genetically-related cataract disorders.
