Biological function summary
The Eph receptor B4 is a significant regulator of angiogenesis and vascular development. It forms a critical component of a signaling complex that also includes ephrin-B2. During embryonic development EphB4's interaction with ephrin-B2 guides the proper formation and organization of blood vessels. In adult organisms it remains active in maintaining vascular homeostasis. Additionally this receptor impacts neuronal development and repair through modulating axon guidance and synaptic plasticity.
Pathways
EphB4 engages in various cellular signaling cascades. It features prominently within pathways governing angiogenesis and cell adhesion. EphB4 acts as a central player in the VEGF signaling pathway modulating endothelial cell behavior. The protein’s pathways frequently intersect with other proteins such as FAK and Src influencing cell motility and morphology. Furthermore in the ephrin receptor pathway it cross-talks with other Eph receptors like EphA4 assisting in diverse biological functions.
