    Summary
    Predicted to enable transmembrane-ephrin receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within activated T cell proliferation; positive regulation of T cell costimulation; and type IV hypersensitivity. Located in cell surface. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; intraembryonic coelom; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EPHB6 (EPH receptor B6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
