Eph receptors

Eph receptors are specialized proteins found on the surface of cells that help them communicate and coordinate with each other. They play a key role in guiding cell movement, growth, and organization during development and tissue repair. Eph receptors interact with their specific partners called ephrin ligands to send signals inside cells. This signaling ensures that cells move to the right place, form proper connections, and function correctly. Proper Eph receptor activity is essential for healthy development, and errors can contribute to diseases like cancer or neurological disorders.
