Biological function summary

Ephrin A1 contributes to the regulation of cell movement and adhesion. It often forms part of a receptor-ligand complex with Eph receptors on adjacent cells. This interaction controls the guidance of axonal growth angiogenesis and tissue boundary formation. In the nervous system ephrin A1 influences the segregation of synaptic connections playing a role in developing the proper neural circuitry. Its expression patterns suggest its involvement in vascular processes and other critical physiological functions.

Pathways

Ephrin A1 is significantly involved in various signaling pathways that mediate cellular attachment and repulsion features. Notably it participates in the Eph/ephrin signaling and the Rho family GTPase signaling pathways. Through its interaction with the EphA2 receptor ephrin A1 regulates cytoskeletal dynamics and influences both integrin-mediated adhesion and cell migration. These pathways are important for maintaining cellular architecture and orchestrating cellular responses to environmental cues.
