Facts about Ephrin type-A receptor 5.
One of GPI-anchored ephrin-A ligands, EFNA5 most likely constitutes the cognate/functional ligand for EPHA5. Functions as an axon guidance molecule during development and may be involved in the development of the retinotectal, entorhino- hippocampal and hippocamposeptal pathways.
