Ephrin-B1 (P52796)

Uniprot ID P52796
Protein Name Ephrin-B1
Gene Name Efnb1
Species Rattus norvegicus (Rat)
Signal peptide(a) Y Secretome P(b)
Function Cell surface transmembrane ligand for Eph receptors, a family of receptor tyrosine kinases which are crucial for migration, repulsion and adhesion during neuronal, vascular and epithelial development (PubMed:7936648). Binding to Eph receptors residing on adjacent cells leads to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells (By similarity). Shows high affinity for the receptor tyrosine kinase EPHB1/ELK (PubMed:7936648). Can also bind EPHB2 and EPHB3 (By similarity). Binds to, and induces the collapse of, commissural axons/growth cones in vitro. May play a role in constraining the orientation of longitudinally projecting axons (By similarity). .

(a) The Signal peptide D-score cutoff for "YES"(having signal peptide) is 0.45.
(b) Non-classically secreted proteins should obtain an NN-score(Neural Networks score) exceeding the normal threshold of 0.5, but not at the same time be predicted to contain a signal peptide.
