Product Specs

Introduction

Ephrin type-B receptor 4, also known as EPHB4, is a protein encoded by the EPHB4 gene in humans. This receptor and its corresponding ligands, ephrins, are involved in various developmental processes, particularly in the nervous system. Being the largest subgroup of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), EPHB4 and other Ephrin receptors play a crucial role in cell signaling. Specifically, EPHB4 binds to ephrin B2 and is essential for the proper development of the vascular system.

Description

Produced in Sf9 insect cells using a baculovirus expression system, the recombinant EPHB4 protein consists of amino acids 16-539 of the human EPHB4 protein sequence (accession number: a.a.). It is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain with an 8 amino acid Histidine tag fused at the C-terminus, resulting in a total of 532 amino acids and a molecular weight of 58.1 kDa. Under reducing conditions on SDS-PAGE, EPHB4 appears as multiple bands between 50-70 kDa due to glycosylation. The protein has been purified using proprietary chromatographic techniques.

Physical Appearance
A clear solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation

The EPHB4 protein is supplied as a solution at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml in a buffer consisting of Phosphate Buffered Saline (pH 7.4) and 10% glycerol.

Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product can be stored at 4°C. For long-term storage, it is recommended to store the product frozen at -20°C. To ensure stability during long-term storage, the addition of a carrier protein such as HSA or BSA to a final concentration of 0.1% is recommended. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles to prevent protein degradation.
Purity

The purity of the EPHB4 protein is greater than 90.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Synonyms

Tyrosine-Protein Kinase TYRO11, Hepatoma Transmembrane Kinase, TYRO11, MYK1, HTK, Ephrin Type-B Receptor, Tyrosine-Protein Kinase Receptor HTK.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Classification

Ephrin receptors are divided into two classes based on their structures and sequence relationships: ephrin-A (EFNA) and ephrin-B (EFNB). EPHB4 belongs to the ephrin-B class, which are transmembrane proteins . Ephrin receptors are the largest subgroup of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family .

Function and Significance

EPHB4 binds to its ligand, ephrin-B2, and is essential for vascular development . The interaction between EPHB4 and ephrin-B2 mediates numerous developmental processes, including:

  • Angiogenesis: The formation of new blood vessels from pre-existing ones.
  • Cell adhesion and migration: Critical for tissue development and repair.
  • Axon guidance: Directing the growth of nerve fibers during neural development .
Pathways and Mechanisms

EPHB4 is involved in several signaling pathways, including the EPH-Ephrin signaling pathway and the GPCR pathway . The receptor’s signaling can be categorized into two types:

  • Forward signaling: Initiated by the receptor itself.
  • Reverse signaling: Initiated by the ephrin ligand .
Clinical Relevance

Mutations or dysregulation of EPHB4 have been associated with various diseases, including:

  • Lymphatic Malformation 7: A disorder characterized by abnormal lymphatic vessel development.
  • Capillary Malformation-Arteriovenous Malformation 2: A condition involving abnormal blood vessel formation .

EPHB4 is also implicated in cancer, where it can influence tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis .

Research and Applications

Human recombinant EPHB4 is used in research to study its role in development and disease. It is also a target for therapeutic interventions aimed at modulating its activity in pathological conditions .
