Gene Symbol EFNA4
Synonyms EFL4 | EPLG4 | LERK-4 | LERK4
Gene Description EFNA4, ephrin-A4, is a plasma membrane protein, anchored through glycophosphatidylinositol (PMID: 23983218) to ephrin receptors (PMID: 15561600) and plays a role in cell adhesion and transendothelial migration (PMID: 19828693).
