Ephrin-B2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EFNB2 gene.[5]

Function

This gene encodes a member of the

EPHA3 receptors.[6]

Cancer

EFNB2 gene has been observed progressively downregulated in

Human papillomavirus-positive neoplastic keratinocytes derived from uterine cervical preneoplastic lesions at different levels of malignancy.[7] For this reason, EFNB2 is likely to be associated with tumorigenesis and may be a potential prognostic marker for uterine cervical preneoplastic lesions progression.[7]

Interactions

EFNB2 has been shown to

EPHB1 in optic chiasm development.[10]

EFNB2 has also been shown to serve as a receptor for Hendra Virus and Nipah Virus, mediating entry into the cell during infection.[11]
