Ephrin B1

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Ephrin B1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EFNB1 gene.[5][6] It is a member of the ephrin family. The encoded protein is a type I membrane protein and a ligand of Eph-related receptor tyrosine kinases. It may play a role in cell adhesion and function in the development or maintenance of the nervous system.[7]

Clinical significance

Mutations in this protein are responsible for most cases of craniofrontonasal syndrome.[8][9][10]

Interactions

EFNB1 has been shown to interact with SDCBP.[11]
