Signalproteiner som verkar som ligander för EPH-familjens receptorer. De utgörs av membranbundna proteiner fästa vid cellmembranet antingen via en glykoinositolfosfolipidförankring eller genom en transmembrandomän. Många efriner anses vara viktiga signalmolekyler celler emellan vilka kontrollerar morfologisk utveckling under embryobildningen.
Signaling proteins that are ligands for the EPH FAMILY RECEPTORS. They are membrane-bound proteins that are attached to the CELL MEMBRANE either through a GLYCOINOSITOL PHOSPHOLIPID MEMBRANE ANCHOR or through a transmembrane domain. Many of the ephrins are considered important intercellular signaling molecules that control morphogenic changes during embryogenesis.
