Leu26-Gly176
Accession # O08542

Specificity

Detects mouse Ephrin‑A4 in direct ELISAs and Western blots. In Western blots, approximately 35% cross‑reactivity with recombinant human (rh) Ephrin‑A4 is observed and less than 5% cross‑reactivity with rhEphrin-B3, recombinant mouse (rm) Ephrin‑A1, rmEphrin-A2, rhEphrin-A5, and rhEphrin-A3 is observed.

Background: Ephrin-A4

Ephrin-A4, also known as LERK-4 and EFL-4 (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 A-class ligands have a GPI anchor following the conserved sequence. Ephrin-A4 has been shown to bind EphA2, EphA3, EphA4, EphA5, EphA6, EphA7, and EphB1 (2, 3). The extracellular domains of human and mouse Ephrin-A4 share 80% 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 receptors and ligands are expressed in developing and adult neural tissue (3). The Eph/ephrin families also appear to play a role in angiogenesis (3).
