Title: EphA5 and EphA6: regulation of neuronal and spine morphology.

Authors: Das, Gitanjali; Yu, Qili; Hui, Ryan; Reuhl, Kenneth; Gale, Nicholas W; Zhou, Renping

Published In Cell Biosci, (2016)

Abstract: The Eph family of receptor tyrosine kinases plays important roles in neural development. Previous studies have implicated Eph receptors and their ligands, the ephrins, in neuronal migration, axon bundling and guidance to specific targets, dendritic spine formation and neural plasticity. However, specific contributions of EphA5 and EphA6 receptors to the regulation of neuronal cell morphology have not been well studied.Here we show that deletion of EphA5 and EphA6 results in abnormal Golgi staining patterns of cells in the brain, and abnormal spine morphology.These observations suggest novel functions of these Eph receptors in the regulation of neuronal and spine structure in brain development and function.
