EPHA1（EPH receptor A1） belongs to the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family. EPH and EPH-related receptors have been implicated in mediating developmental events, particularly in the nervous system. Receptors in the EPH subfamily typically have a single kinase domain and an extracellular region containing a Cys-rich domain and 2 fibronectin type III repeats. The ephrin receptors are divided into 2 groups based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and their affinities for binding ephrin-A and ephrin-B ligands. EPHA1 is expressed in some human cancer cell lines and has been implicated in carcinogenesis.蛋白别名为：EPHA1; EPH; EPHT; EPHT1; Ephrin type-A receptor 1; hEpha1; EPH tyrosine kinase; EPH tyrosine kinase 1; Erythropoietin-producing hepatoma receptor; Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor EPH;基因ID为：2041；蛋白质ID:P21709
