MeSH definition : Signaling proteins that are ligands for the EPH FAMILY RECEPTORS. They are membrane-bound
proteins that are attached to the CELL MEMBRANE either through a GLYCOINOSITOL PHOSPHOLIPID
MEMBRANE ANCHOR or through a transmembrane domain. Many of the ephrins are considered
important intercellular signaling molecules that control morphogenic changes during
embryogenesis.;
