• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)

Receptor tyrosine kinase which binds promiscuously GPI-anchored ephrin-A family ligands residing on adjacent cells, leading to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. The signaling pathway downstream of the receptor is referred to as forward signaling while the signaling pathway downstream of the ephrin ligand is referred to as reverse signaling. Among GPI-anchored ephrin-A ligands, EFNA5 is a cognate/functional ligand for EPHA7 and their interaction regulates brain development modulating cell-cell adhesion and repulsion. Has a repellent activity on axons and is for instance involved in the guidance of corticothalamic axons and in the proper topographic mapping of retinal axons to the colliculus. May also regulate brain development through a caspase(CASP3)-dependent proapoptotic activity. Forward signaling may result in activation of components of the ERK signaling pathway including MAP2K1, MAP2K2, MAPK1 AND MAPK3 which are phosphorylated upon activation of EPHA7. Isoform 4 which lacks the kinase domain may regulate isoform 1 adhesive properties.

Human Cells

A DNA sequence encoding the mouse EPHA7 isoform 1 (Q61772-1) extracellular domain (Met 1-Ile 556) was fused with a polyhistidine tag at the C-terminus.

Mouse

The secreted recombinant mouse EPHA7 consists of 537 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 60.4 kDa. In SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions, the apparent molecular mass of rmEPHA7 is approximately 70 kDa due to glycosylation.

> 97 % as determined by SDS-PAGE

Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. Immobilized mouse EphA7 at 2 μg/ml (100 μl/well) can bind mouse EphrinA4 with a linear range of 0.08-10 ng/ml.
