EphB3 Antibody Ephrin Receptor B3

Ephrin Receptor B3, is also known as human embryo kinase2 (HEK2) or Eph-like tyrosine kinase 2 (ETK2) is a member of the EPH/ELK family of tyrosine kinases. The gene encodes a 998-amino acid polypeptide having a single putative transmembrane domain, a secretory signal sequence, and two fibronectin repeats. The gene is mapped to human chromosome 3q21-qter. EphB3 interacts with two ligands of EPH-related kinases (LERKs), LERK2/EFNB1 and LERK5/EFNB2. Coincubation of EphB3- and LERK2-expressing cells induces cell-cell adhesion and aggregation. Additionally, coexpression of the two proteins results in reduced kinase activity of EphB3.
