Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables chemorepellent activity; growth factor binding activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including ephrin receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of nervous system development; and regulation of protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within nephric duct morphogenesis; nervous system development; and positive regulation of neuron apoptotic process. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; foot bone; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EPHA7 (EPH receptor A7).
