Ephrin type-B receptor 2

UniProtKB accession:  P28693

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Receptor tyrosine kinase which binds promiscuously transmembrane ephrin-B family ligands residing on adjacent cells, leading to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. The signaling pathway downstream of the receptor is referred to as forward signaling while the signaling pathway downstream of the ephrin ligand is referred to as reverse signaling. Functions in axon guidance during development. In addition to axon guidance, also regulates dendritic spines development and maturation and stimulates the formation of excitatory synapses (By similarity).
