Characterization of the Genes for Mouse LERK-3/Ephrin-A3 (Epl3), Mouse LERK-4/Ephrin-A4 (Epl4), and Human LERK-6/Ephrin-A2 (EPLG6): Conservation of Intron/Exon Structure

Abstract

We have isolated the genes for the eph receptor family ligands mouse LERK-3/Ephrin-A3 (Epl3), mouse LERK-4/Ephrin-A4 (Epl4), and human LERK-6/Ephrin-A2 (EPLG6). These genes show a high level of conservation in their intron/exon structures encoding the receptor-binding region. In addition, the nucleotide sequences of the genes reveal the predicted cDNA sequence of mouse LERK-3/Ephrin-A3, mouse LERK-4/ Ephrin-A4, and human LERK-6/Ephrin-A2.
