Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables GPI-linked ephrin receptor activity; identical protein binding activity; and transmembrane-ephrin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including axon development; cellular response to amyloid-beta; and regulation of neuron projection development. Acts upstream of or within adult walking behavior; axon guidance; and nephric duct morphogenesis. Located in several cellular components, including axon; dendrite; and early endosome membrane. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and synaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EPHA4 (EPH receptor A4).
