Ephrin-B2, also known as Htk-L, ELF-2, LERK-5, and NLERK-1 (1), is a member of the ephrin ligand family which binds members of the Eph receptor family. All ligands share a conserved extracellular sequence, which most likely corresponds to the receptor binding domain. This conserved sequence consists of approximately 125 amino acids and includes four invariant cysteines. The B-class ligands are transmembrane proteins which can become tyrosine phosphorylated upon receptor ligation. The cytoplasmic domains are approximately 80 amino acids long and are highly conserved, especially the last 33 amino acids. Several signaling molecules have been shown to interact with the cytoplasmic region, although specific signaling roles have yet to be elucidated. Ephrin-B2 has been shown to bind EphA4, EphB1, EphB2, EphB3, and EphB4 (2, 3). The extracellular domains of murine and human Ephrin-B2 share 98% amino acid identity. Only membrane-bound or Fc-clustered ligands are capable of activating the receptor in vitro. While soluble monomeric ligands bind the receptor, they do not induce receptor autophosphorylation and activation (2). In vivo, the ligands and receptors display reciprocal expression (3). It has been found that nearly all the receptors and ligands are expressed in developing and adult neural tissue (3). The Ephrin/Eph families also appear to play a role in angiogenesis (3).

Application: Simple WesternSample Tested: mouse brain lysateSpecies: MouseVerified Customer | Posted 07/12/2017Simple Western lane view shows 53 and 58kDa signals for ephrinB2. Note that higher concentrations of this antibody may lead to an unspecific signal corresponding to the size of the internal standard (230 kDa, leftmost lane).Simple Western: anti-ephrinB2 antibody [biotechne AF496] Simple Western lane view shows 53 and 58kDa signals for ephrinB2 in 0.5 mg/ml of mouse brain lysate (lysis buffer from ARY014 proteome profiler kit). This run was performed under reducing conditions using the 12-230 kDa separation system in combination with a secondary anti-goat-HRP antibody (biotechne, HAF109, 1:50). Note that higher concentrations of this antibody may lead to an unspecific signal corresponding to the size of the internal standard (230 kDa, leftmost lane).
