Biological Information

Background Information:

Receptor tyrosine kinase which binds promiscuously GPI-anchored ephrin-A family ligands residing on adjacent cells, leading to contact-dependent bidirectional signaling into neighboring cells. The signaling pathway downstream of the receptor is referred to as forward signaling while the signaling pathway downstream of the ephrin ligand is referred to as reverse signaling.

Testing Information

Procedure Summary:

Epha6 (h) is incubated with 8 mM MOPS pH 7.0, 0.2 mM EDTA, 0.5 mM MnCl2, 5 mM DTT, 2.5 mM Na-β-glycerophosphate, 0.1 mg/mL poly(Glu, Tyr) 4:1, 10 mM Magnesium acetate and [γ-33P]-ATP (specific activity and concentration as required). The reaction is initiated by the addition of the Mg/ATP mix. After incubation for 40 minutes at room temperature, the reaction is stopped by the addition of phosphoric acid to a concentration of 0.5%. An aliquot of the reaction is then spotted onto a filter and washed four times for 4 minutes in 0.425% phosphoric acid and once in ethanol prior to drying and scintillation counting.
