Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionvab-1 encodes an ephrin receptor; during development, vab-1 activity is required for neural and epithelial morphogenesis as well as for proper axon targeting and neuronal cell migration; in addition, VAB-1 functions as a major sperm protein receptor in a sperm-sensing control mechanism that regulates oocyte meiotic maturation; VAB-1::GFP reporters are expressed in neuronal cells and in oocytes and sheath cells of the proximal gonad.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00003020

Automated_descriptionEnables ephrin receptor activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cell development; embryonic morphogenesis; and regulation of axon guidance. Located in axon and plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including hypodermal cell; neuroblasts; neurons; oocyte; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; aortic dissection; cataract 6 multiple types; and gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of several human genes including EPHB1 (EPH receptor B1); EPHB2 (EPH receptor B2); and EPHB3 (EPH receptor B3).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
