Missense mutations of the ephrin receptor EPHA1 associated with Alzheimer’s disease disrupt receptor signaling functions

Abstract excerpt

Missense mutations in the EPHA1 receptor tyrosine kinase have been identified in Alzheimer's patients. To gain insight into their potential role in disease pathogenesis, we investigated the effects of four of these mutations. We show that the P460L mutation in the second fibronectin type III (FN2) domain drastically reduces EPHA1 cell surface localization while increasing tyrosine phosphorylation of the cell...
