    basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in the maintenance of the adult nervous system and contributing to glioma development
  • key player in controlling these cell movements in many tissues and at multiple stages of patterning
  • EFNA5-EPHA4/EPHA5 system plays an important role in the direct pathway-dependent regulation of the substantia nigra pars reticulata in both acute and adaptive cocaine responses
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    EFNA5 and EPHA5 signals play a necessary, activity-independent role in the initiation of the early phases of synaptogenesis
    a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • TIAM1 plays a role in clathrin-dependent endocytosis of EPHA8-EPHA5 complexes
  • EFNA5 interaction with the EPHA5 receptor following neuron-neuron contact during early development of hippocampus induces a complex program of synaptogenic events
  • DLX5 and MSX2 play potentially a critical role in controlling cranial neural tube morphogenesis by regulating cell adhesion via the EPHA5 and EPHA7 pathway
