Ephrin-B2 is a member of the ephrin (EPH) family. The ephrins and EPH-related receptors comprise the largest subfamily of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and have been implicated in mediating developmental events, especially in the nervous system and in erythropoiesis. Based on their structures and sequence relationships, ephrins are divided into the ephrin-A (EFNA) class, which are anchored to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage, and the ephrin-B (EFNB) class, which are transmembrane proteins. It binds to the EPHB4 and EPHA3 receptors. Source: Recombinant corresponding to aa28-229 from human EFNB2, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E.coli.
