Analysis Note
The biological activity is measured by its ability to bind recombinant mouse ephrin-B1/Fc in an ELISA assay.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Member of Eph receptor tyrosine kinase family shown to bind ephrin-A1, ephrin-A3, ephrin-A4, ephrin-B1, ephrin-B2, and ephrin-B3; involved in pattern formation and morphogenesis. EphB1 can be detected in endothelial cells and is activated by ephrin-B1, initiating the assembly of endothelial cells into capillary-like cords.
Other Notes
Extracellular domain of rat EphB1 (amino acids 1-549) fused to the C-terminal 6X histidine-tagged Fc region of human IgG1 via a polypeptide linker.
Physical form
Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered solution in 20 mM Tris, pH 8.5.
