Summary: Enables chemorepellent activity; growth factor binding activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including ephrin receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of nervous system development; and regulation of protein phosphorylation. Acts upstream of or within nephric duct morphogenesis; nervous system development; and positive regulation of neuron apoptotic process. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; foot bone; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human EPHA7 (EPH receptor A7).

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.
