EPH receptor A2 (EphA2), with 976-amino acid protein (about 107 kDa), belongs to the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family. EphA1, EphA2, EphA3, EphA4, EphA5, EphA6, EphA7, EphA8, EphA10, EphB1, EphB2, EphB3, EphB4 and EphB6 are Eph family receptors for Ephrin family ligands. In normal cells, EphA2 negatively regulates cell growth and invasiveness. EphA2 is overexpressed by many human cancers, and is often associated with poor prognostic features. The clinical significance of the expression of EphA2 was observed in breast, prostate, colon, skin, cervical, ovarian, and lung cancers.EphA2 may serve as a novel target for bladder cancer, colonic adenocarcinoma and ovarian cancer therapy.
