Binds promiscuously Eph receptors residing on adjacent cells, leading to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. The signaling pathway downstream of the receptor is referred to as forward signaling while the signaling pathway downstream of the ephrin ligand is referred to as reverse signaling. With the EPHA2 receptor may play a role in bone remodeling through regulation of osteoclastogenesis and osteoblastogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |Ephrin| |ephrin receptor binding| |olfactory bulb development| |olfactory lobe development| |osteoclast differentiation| |bone remodeling| |neuromuscular junction| |ephrin receptor signaling pathway| |tissue remodeling| |anchored component of membrane| |myeloid leukocyte differentiation| |perikaryon| |myeloid cell differentiation| |telencephalon development| |axon guidance| |neuron projection guidance| |leukocyte differentiation| |axonogenesis| |forebrain development| |axon development| |cell morphogenesis involved in neuron differentiation| |neuron projection morphogenesis| |plasma membrane bounded cell projection morphogenesis| |cell projection morphogenesis| |transmembrane receptor protein tyrosine kinase signaling pathway| |cell part morphogenesis| |chemotaxis| |taxis| |hemopoiesis| |cell morphogenesis involved in differentiation| |hematopoietic or lymphoid organ development| |immune system development| |neuron projection development| |enzyme linked receptor protein signaling pathway| |cell morphogenesis| |brain development| |head development| |neuron development| |cellular component morphogenesis| |central nervous system development| |neuron differentiation| |cell-cell signaling| |plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization| |cell projection organization| |locomotion| |generation of neurons| |movement of cell or subcellular component| |neurogenesis| |cell development| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp20|Etoposide 10μM R00 exp20]]|-1.73| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
