General Information
| Short Description | Recombinant-Active-Human EPHA8-C-hFc-His protein was developed from mammalian cells and has a target region of C-hFc-His. For use in research applications. |
| Applications | ELISA/WB |
| Host | Mammalian Cells |
| Note | STRICTLY FOR FURTHER SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH USE ONLY (RUO). MUST NOT BE USED IN DIAGNOSTIC OR THERAPEUTIC APPLICATIONS. |
Product Properties
| Conjugation | Unconjugated |
| Dilution Range | Reconstitute in sterile water for a stock solution. |
| Formulation | Lyophilized from a solution in PBS pH 7.4, 5% Trehalose, 5% Mannitol. |
| Storage Instruction | Use a manual defrost freezer and avoid repeated freeze thaw cycles. Store at 2 to 8°C for one week. Store at-20 to-80°C for twelve months from the date of receipt. |
| Endotoxin | <0.1 EU/Mu g of the protein by the LAL method. |
| Immunoreactivity | Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When recombinant human EPHA8 is coated at 2 Mu g/mL (100 Mu L/well) , the concentration of biotinylayed recombinant human Ephrin-A5 that produces 50% of the optimal binding response is 2-12 ng/mL |

Additional Info
| Function | Receptor tyrosine kinase which binds promiscuously GPI-anchored ephrin-A family ligands residing on adjacent cells, leading to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. The signaling pathway downstream of the receptor is referred to as forward signaling while the signaling pathway downstream of the ephrin ligand is referred to as reverse signaling. The GPI-anchored ephrin-A EFNA2, EFNA3, and EFNA5 are able to activate EPHA8 through phosphorylation. With EFNA5 may regulate integrin-mediated cell adhesion and migration on fibronectin substrate but also neurite outgrowth. During development of the nervous system also plays a role in axon guidance. Downstream effectors of the EPHA8 signaling pathway include FYN which promotes cell adhesion upon activation by EPHA8 and the MAP kinases in the stimulation of neurite outgrowth. |
