Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables ephrin receptor activity and growth factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including axonal fasciculation; ephrin receptor signaling pathway; and synaptic membrane adhesion. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to follicle-stimulating hormone stimulus; negative regulation of neuron projection development; and regulation of cell migration. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse and presynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human EPHA3 (EPH receptor A3).
