HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY	protein kinase superfamily
	Tyr protein kinase family
	ephrin receptor

CATEGORY

enzyme , receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION	receptor tyrosine kinase, involved in short-range contact-mediated exonal guidance
	catalytic activity of EPHB3 is required for inhibition of integrin-mediated cell adhesion
	involved in neural and vascular patterning
	multi-functional factor that regulates cell apoptosis and augments T-cell signaling
	could mediate axon pruning and control axon pathfinding
	potentially played an important role in midbrain dopaminergic neurons
	directly involved in the specificity of mesostriatal projection
	axon guide molecule, probably participated in mesostriatal axonal growth to target region
	limits the expansion of neural progenitor cells in the subventricular zone by regulating TP53 during homeostasis and following traumatic brain injury

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	receptor for members of the ephrin-b family, binds to ephrin-b1 and -b2 (EPHB1, EPHB2)
	EPHB3-ephrin-B interaction promotes MET (mesenchymal-to-epithelial transition) by re-establishing epithelial cell-cell junctions and such an MET-promoting effect contributes to EPHB3-mediated tumor suppression
	interact with E-cadherin and with the metalloproteinase ADAM10 at sites of adhesion and their activation induces shedding of CDH1 by ADAM10 at interfaces with EPHB1-expressing cells
	HUWE1 regulates the intestinal stem cell niche via the WNT pathway and targets EPHB3 for proteasomal and lysosomal degradation
