Summary: Enables ephrin receptor binding activity and protein tyrosine kinase activity. Involved in phosphorylation and positive regulation of apoptotic process. Located in dendrite; neuronal cell body; and postsynaptic membrane. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; and postsynaptic density membrane. Orthologous to human EPHA7 (EPH receptor A7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A7 restrains estrogen negative feedback of luteinizing hormone via ephrin A5 in the hypothalamus of female rats.
Title: Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular receptor A7 restrains estrogen negative feedback of luteinizing hormone via ephrin A5 in the hypothalamus of female rats.
EPHA7 is a positive upstream factor of C/EBPbeta contributing to the transcription and translation of KLF4, promoting ovulation via ADAMTS1. We demonstrated the functional role of EPHA7 in PCOS, which explains how the loss of EPHA7 underlies the ovulatory dysfunction.
Title: Erythropoietin-producing hepatocellular A7 triggering ovulation indicates a potential beneficial role for polycystic ovary syndrome.
EphA7 regulates gephyrin clustering and the maintenance of inhibitory synaptic connectivity via mTOR signaling.
Title: Receptor tyrosine kinase EphA7 is required for interneuron connectivity at specific subcellular compartments of granule cells.
The cell surface localization of EphA7 was preferentially in postsynaptic dendrites in the hippocampus and cerebellum.
Title: Regional expression and ultrastructural localization of EphA7 in the hippocampus and cerebellum of adult rat.
This study demonistrated that EphA7 expression identifies a novel "matrisome" compartment within the matrix that binds ephrin-A5 and possesses unique axonal projections.
Title: EphA7 expression identifies a unique neuronal compartment in the rat striatum.

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.
