MeSH Heading: Ephrins
Tree Number(s): D12.644.276.500; D12.776.467.500; D12.776.543.287; D23.529.500
Unique ID: D036342
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D036342
Scope Note: Signaling proteins that are ligands for the EPH FAMILY RECEPTORS. They are membrane-bound proteins that are attached to the CELL MEMBRANE either through a GLYCOINOSITOL PHOSPHOLIPID MEMBRANE ANCHOR or through a transmembrane domain. Many of the ephrins are considered important intercellular signaling molecules that control morphogenic changes during embryogenesis.
