The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen. Ephrin-B2 antibody AP02707PU detects endogenous levels of total Ephrin-B2 protein.
Purification
Immunoaffinity chromatography.
Immunogen
The antiserum was produced against synthesized non-phosphopeptide derived from human Ephrin-B2 around the phosphorylation site of tyrosine 316 (P-V-Yp-I-V).

Background
Ephrin receptors and their ligands, the ephrins, mediate numerous developmental processes, particularly in the nervous system. Based on their structures and sequence relationships, ephrins are divided into the ephrin-A (EFNA) class, which are anchored to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage, and the ephrin-B (EFNB) class, which are transmembrane proteins. The Eph family of receptors are divided into 2 groups based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and their affinities for binding ephrin-A and ephrin-B ligands. Ephrin receptors make up the largest subgroup of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. The ligand-activated form of EphB2, which belongs to the Tyr family of protein kinases, interacts with multiple proteins, including GTPase-activating protein (RASGAP)and also interacts with PRKCABP and GRIP1. This type I membrane protein is expressed in brain, heart, lung, kidney, placenta, pancreas, liver and skeletal muscle. It is preferentially expressed in fetal brain. Ephrin-B2 also binds EphA4, EphB1, EphB2, EphB3 and EphB4. Ephrin-B2 can be detected on monocytes, mesangial cells, CD34+ stem cells, bone marrow fibroblasts, activated melanocytes and melanoma cells, and pre-artery endothelial cells.Synonyms: EFNB2, EPH-related receptor tyrosine kinase ligand 5, EPLG5, HTK ligand, HTK-L, HTKL, LERK-5, LERK5
