Summary
Enables ephrin receptor binding activity. Involved in ephrin receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be anchored component of membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EFNA3 (ephrin A3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
