    Summary
    Enables ephrin receptor binding activity. Involved in ephrin receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in side of membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EFNA3 (ephrin A3).

    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.
