Eph receptor A6 also known as EphA6 acts as a receptor tyrosine kinase which belongs to the ephrin receptor subfamily. Its structure involves a mass of approximately 110 kDa. EphA6 is expressed in various tissues with notably high expression in the brain. It plays a mechanical role by binding ephrin ligands which leads to receptor activation and downstream signaling.
Biological function summary
Ephrin-Eph receptor interactions regulate processes like cell adhesion migration and development with EphA6 influencing neural development and plasticity. It does not form a complex on its own but interacts with ephrin ligands to initiate cellular responses. These functions are important for maintaining cellular architecture and communication during development.
Pathways
EphA6 participates in the Ephrin signaling pathway engaging in complex interactions to mediate developmental processes. This receptor also involves itself in the neural development pathway. Proteins like EphA2 and ephrin-A1 frequently interact with EphA6 within these pathways facilitating various signaling cascades that are significant for cellular architecture.
Abnormal expression or function of EphA6 has been associated with neurodegenerative disorders like Alzheimer's disease. Changes in EphA6 participate in disruption of synaptic connections. Within cancer biology EphA6 has been implicated in tumor progression and metastasis. In these contexts it may interact with other proteins such as EGFR influencing cellular behaviors related to malignancy.
