Summary: Enables GPI-linked ephrin receptor activity and growth factor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ephrin receptor signaling pathway; neuron development; and positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to follicle-stimulating hormone stimulus. Located in neuron projection and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EPHA8 (EPH receptor A8).

What's a GeneRIF?

Data suggest that Odin levels play a critical role in regulating the stability of EphA2 and A8 in response to ligand stimulation and by modulating the ubiquitination process.
Title: The SAM domains of Anks family proteins are critically involved in modulating the degradation of EphA receptors.
These findings support a possible function for Anks family proteins as scaffolding proteins of the EphA8 signaling pathway.
Title: Identification of phosphotyrosine binding domain-containing proteins as novel downstream targets of the EphA8 signaling function.
1-kb enhancer region, directs expression in the embryo to the anterior region of the developing midbrain.
Title: Identification of an enhancer region in the mouse ephA8 locus directing expression to the anterior region of the dorsal mesencephalon.
Regulation of EphA8 gene expression is accomplished by TALE homeobox transcription factors during development of the mesencephalon.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
