Description
EphA2 (Ephrin receptor tyrosine kinase A2) belongs to the Ephrin tyrosine receptor familiy, the largest receptor tyrosine kinase family of transmembrane proteins. It encodes a 130 kDA transmembrane protein which is primarily found in adult human epithelial cells. Eph receptors and their ephrin ligands are important mediators of cell-cell communication and play roles in embryonic patterning, neuronal targeting, and vascular development during normal embryogenesis. The Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases is frequently overexpressed in a wide variety of cancers and tumor cell lines. In particular, EphA2 is overexpressed in prostate, lung and colon cancers and 40% of breast cancers and it represent an attractive potential target for drug design.
