HOMOLOGY

Homologene

FAMILY

TYR protein kinase family, ephrin receptor subfamily

CATEGORY

enzyme , protooncogene , receptor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

plasma membrane

basic FUNCTION

plays a role in short-range contact-mediated axonal guidance during development of the mammalian nervous system

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

EPHA8 formed a ternary complex with both RINL and ANKS1A

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	possible function for ANKS family proteins (ANKS1A, ANKS1B) as scaffolding proteins of the EPHA8 signaling pathway
	TIAM1 plays a role in clathrin-dependent endocytosis of EPHA8-ephrinA5 complexes
	RINL, as a GEF for RAB5 subfamily, is implicated in the EPHA8-degradation pathway via its interaction with ANKS1A
