== Function ==

This gene encodes a member of the [[ephrin]] (EPH) family. The ephrins and EPH-related receptors comprise the largest subfamily of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and have been implicated in mediating developmental events, especially in the nervous system and in [[erythropoiesis]]. 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. This gene encodes an EFNB class ephrin which binds to the [[EPHB4]] and [[EPHA3]] receptors.<ref name="entrez">{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: EFNB2 ephrin-B2| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=1948| accessdate = }}</ref>

== Interactions ==

EFNB2 has been shown to [[Protein-protein interaction|interact]] with [[EPHA3]].<ref name=pmid8559144>{{cite journal | vauthors = Cerretti DP, Vanden Bos T, Nelson N, Kozlosky CJ, Reddy P, Maraskovsky E, Park LS, Lyman SD, Copeland NG, Gilbert DJ | title = Isolation of LERK-5: a ligand of the eph-related receptor tyrosine kinases | journal = Molecular Immunology | volume = 32 | issue = 16 | pages = 1197–205 | date = Nov 1995 | pmid = 8559144 | doi = 10.1016/0161-5890(95)00108-5 }}</ref><ref name=pmid9195962>{{cite journal | vauthors = Lackmann M, Mann RJ, Kravets L, Smith FM, Bucci TA, Maxwell KF, Howlett GJ, Olsson JE, Vanden Bos T, Cerretti DP, Boyd AW | title = Ligand for EPH-related kinase (LERK) 7 is the preferred high affinity ligand for the HEK receptor | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 272 | issue = 26 | pages = 16521–30 | date = Jun 1997 | pmid = 9195962 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.272.26.16521 }}</ref>
