gene: vab-2 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables ephrin receptor binding activity. Involved in ephrin receptor signaling pathway and epidermis morphogenesis. Located in axon and external side of plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including anterior ganglion; neuroblasts; neurons; somatic nervous system; and ventral ganglion (post). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in craniofrontonasal syndrome; dysostosis; and stomach cancer. Is an ortholog of human EFNB1 (ephrin B1).
