Ephrin Receptor

Go to external page http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/NCIT_C18606

Eph receptor tyrosine kinases and their ligands, the ephrins, appear to lie functionally at the interface between pattern formation and morphogenesis. They play a major role in axonal pathfinding and target recognition during central nervous system (CNS) development. (from Development 1999;126:2033-2044 and Exp Neurol 1999;156:218-22) [ ]
