EphA2 Receptor Tyrosine Kinase as a Promising Target for Cancer Therapeutics

Abstract excerpt

Eph receptors are a unique family of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTK) that play critical roles in embryonic patterning, neuronal targeting, and vascular development during normal embryogenesis. Eph RTKs and their ligands, the ephrins, are also frequently overexpressed in a variety of cancers and tumor cell lines. In particular, one family member, EphA2, is overexpressed in breast, prostate, lung, and colon...
