A role for C. elegans Eph RTK signaling in PTEN regulation.

29 Sep 2009 PTEN is one of the most commonly lost tumor suppressors in human cancer and is known to inhibit insulin signaling. Eph receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) have also been implicated in cancer formation and progression, and they have diverse functions, ... Read more...

Integration of neuronal clones in the radial cortical columns by EphA and ephrin-A signalling.

14 Sep 2009 The cerebral cortex is a laminated sheet of neurons composed of the arrays of intersecting radial columns. During development, excitatory projection neurons originating from the proliferative units at the ventricular surface of the embryonic ... Read more...

Control of extracellular matrix assembly along tissue boundaries via Integrin and Eph/Ephrin signaling.

27 Jul 2009 Extracellular matrixes (ECMs) coat and subdivide animal tissues, but it is unclear how ECM formation is restricted to tissue surfaces and specific cell interfaces. During zebrafish somite morphogenesis, segmental assembly of an ECM composed of ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Receptors, Eph Family'

Definition: A large family of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases that are structurally-related. The name of this family of proteins derives from original protein Eph (now called the EPHA1 RECEPTOR), which was named after the cell line it was first discovered in: Erythropoietin-Producing human Hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. Members of this family have been implicated in regulation of cell-cell interactions involved in nervous system patterning and development.
