Function | Kinase-defective receptor for members of the ephrin-B family. Binds to ephrin-B1 and ephrin-B2. Modulates cell adhesion and migration by exerting both positive and negative effects upon stimulation with ephrin-B2. Inhibits JNK activation, T-cell receptor-induced IL-2 secretion and CD25 expression upon stimulation with ephrin-B2. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12517763, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15955811}. |
Subcellular Location | Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in brain. Expressed in non invasive breast carcinoma cell lines (at protein level). Strong expression in brain and pancreas, and weak expression in other tissues, such as heart, placenta, lung, liver, skeletal muscle and kidney. Expressed in breast non invasive tumors but not in metastatic lesions. Isoform 3 is expressed in cell lines of glioblastomas, anaplastic astrocytomas, gliosarcomas and astrocytomas. Isoform 3 is not detected in normal tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18754880, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19234485, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9207182}. |
