The binding of Eph and ephrin receptors is achieved via cell-cell interaction. Eph/Eph receptor signaling regulates embryonic development, guidance of axon growth, long-term potentiation, angiogenesis and stem-cell differentiation [1]. See also Ephrin receptor, Eph/ephrin signaling pathway, Ephrin Type-A Receptor. Ephrin-A3 has a role in forming precise tonotropy in the auditory brainstem to ensure accurate sound discrimination[2]. Ephrin-A5 is required for the proper guidance and mapping of retinal axons in the mammalian midbrain[3]. Disease Eph-A5 is implicated in spinal cord injury. Eph-A1 is implicated in myocardial injury and renal reperfusion injury. Structural highlights (PDB code 3mx0).[4]
