EPHB4 EPH Receptor B4 Mouse Recombinant Protein

EPHB4 Mouse Recombinant produced in Sf9 Baculovirus cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 532 amino acids (16-539 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 58.7kDa (Migrates at 50-70kDa on SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions).
EPHB4 is expressed with an 8 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Receptor tyrosine kinase which binds promiscuously transmembrane ephrin-B 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. Together with its cognate ligand/functional ligand EFNB2 plays a central role in heart morphogenesis and angiogenesis through regulation of cell adhesion and cell migration. EPHB4- mediated forward signaling controls cellular repulsion and segregation form EFNB2-expressing cells. Plays also a role in postnatal blood vessel remodeling, morphogenesis and permeability and is thus important in the context of tumor angiogenesis.
