Ephrin-A1

B61 Secreted Protein, Endothelium; EPLG1; Eck Ligand; Eck RPTK Ligand; Epl1 Protein; LERK-1 Protein; Ephrin A1; LERK 1 Protein; Ligand, Eck; RPTK Ligand, Eck
An ephrin that was originally identified as the product of an early response gene induced by TUMOR NECROSIS FACTORS. It is linked to the CELL MEMBRANE via a GLYCOINOSITOL PHOSPHOLIPID MEMBRANE ANCHOR and binds EPHA2 RECEPTOR with high affinity. During embryogenesis high levels of ephrin-A1 are expressed in LUNG, KIDNEY, SALIVARY GLANDS and INTESTINE.
