Ephrin-A1/EFNA1, Human (HEK293, His)

Ephrin-A1/EFNA1 Protein is a member of the A-type ephrin family of cell surface proteins that function as ligands for the A-type Eph receptor tyrosine kinase family (EphA2) . EFNA1 exerts its function largely through interactions with EphA2. EFNA1 exists in a soluble form as well as a glycophosphatidylinositol (GPI) membrane attached form. EFNA1 acts as a membrane-bound, GPI-anchored protein capable of mediating juxtacrine signalling and requiring membrane attachment or clustering/oligomerization. EFNA1 is a novel TNF-inducible protein. EFNA1 efficiently binds to the EphA8 receptor expressed in NIH3T3 fibroblasts. EFNA1 stimulates PI3K activity via direct interaction of EphA2 with the p85 subunit of PI3K. EFNA1 can both inhibit and stimulate oncogenesis, depending on the cellular context[1][2][3]. Ephrin-A1/EFNA1 Protein, Human (HEK293, His) is the recombinant human-derived Ephrin-A1/EFNA1 protein, expressed by HEK293 , with C-6*His labeled tag.
