High impact information on EPHB1

  • Many of these genes are involved in various cancers, including GASC1, shown previously to be amplified in ESCCs, and EPHB1 and PIK3C3 [1].
  • Most interestingly, the plasma membrane insertion of the WT-hNET and hNET double mutant were not affected by beta-PMA [2].
  • In addition, the PKC-induced phosphorylation of hNET double mutant was significantly reduced [2].
  • In the absence of T258A and S259A mutations, alanine substitution of all other potential phosphosites within the hNET did not block PKC-induced phosphorylation and down-regulation [2].
  • Although the WT-hNET showed increased endocytosis and redistribution from caveolin-rich plasma membrane domains following beta-PMA treatment, the hNET double mutant was completely resistant to these PKC-mediated effects [2].
 

Biological context of EPHB1

  • Individual genetic variations in the gene encoding the human NET (hNET), located at chromosome 16q12.2, may contribute to the pathogenesis of those diseases [3].
 

Anatomical context of EPHB1

 

Associations of EPHB1 with chemical compounds

  • Coexpression of transcripts encoding EPHB receptor protein tyrosine kinases and their ephrin-B ligands in human small cell lung carcinoma [4].
 

Other interactions of EPHB1

  • BACKGROUND: The EPH family is the largest subfamily of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases, consisting of EPHA and EPHB subgroups [6].
