It has an approximate mass of 130 kDa. Researchers find this receptor widely expressed in various tissues including epithelial cells and some neuronal populations. EphA2 is involved in cell positioning movement and organization by interacting with ephrin ligands notably ephrin A1. The receptor-ligand interaction triggers bidirectional signaling that affects cell structure and function.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nEph receptor A2 participates in important cellular processes such as angiogenesis cell proliferation and migration. It often functions as part of larger signaling networks or complexes that include other Eph receptors and ephrin ligands. These interactions help regulate cell adhesion and detachment which are important for embryonic development and tissue organization. EphA2 studies often use fluorescent labeling strategies such as Alexa 588 to track its expression and activity in cells.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nEph receptor A2 integrates into the PI3K\/AKT and MAPK signaling pathways which are important for cell survival growth and differentiation. It interacts with proteins like Ras and ERK within these pathways to modulate their functions. EphA2 signaling influences cytoskeletal dynamics and morphogenesis making it an important component in maintaining tissue architecture. Research also indicates a connection between EphA2 and the APC protein highlighting its role in the Wnt signaling pathway.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Eph receptor A2 shows significant involvement in cancer and inflammatory conditions. Overexpression or dysregulation of EphA2 occurs frequently in various cancers including breast and prostate cancer correlating with increased tumor aggressiveness and metastasis. The receptor also interacts with other proteins such as APC which links to tumorigenesis and cancer progression. In immunology EphA2 plays a part in chronic inflammatory diseases by modulating immune cell migration and vascular inflammation. Understanding these connections provides insights for potential therapeutic targets using molecular interventions like A2 antibodies and APC-based strategies.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845122773161,"sku":"ab266856","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab266856","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
