High impact information on Efna3

  • Here we found that in mice deficient for ephrin-A2, ephrin-A3 and ephrin-A5, eye-specific inputs segregated but the shape and location of eye-specific layers were profoundly disrupted [1].
  • Control of hippocampal dendritic spine morphology through ephrin-A3/EphA4 signaling [2].
  • Here we describe a repulsive interaction that regulates postsynaptic morphology through the EphA4 receptor tyrosine kinase and its ligand ephrin-A3 [2].
  • In the olfactory system, high levels of Lerk3 were detected in the sensory neurons [3].
  • In addition, Southern blot analysis of DNA from interspecific backcross mice indicated that the mouse homologues Epl1, Epl3, and Epl4 map to a homologous region on mouse chromosome 3 [4].
 

Anatomical context of Efna3

 

Associations of Efna3 with chemical compounds

  • Expression analysis of the Epha1 receptor tyrosine kinase and its high-affinity ligands Efna1 and Efna3 during early mouse development [6].
 

Other interactions of Efna3

  • In the lateral wall, EphA4, ephrin-A3 and ephrin-B2 were strongly expressed, while ephrin-A3 was particularly strongly expressed in utricular and saccular sensory epithelia [5].
