Ephrin-A4 (EFNA4)

Cell surface GPI-bound ligand for Eph receptors, a family of receptor tyrosine kinases which are crucial for migration, repulsion and adhesion during neuronal, vascular and epithelial development. Binds promiscuously Eph receptors residing on adjacent cells, resulting in contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells.

May play a role in the interaction between activated B-lymphocytes and dendritic cells . .
