Description:
EphA5 (EPH Receptor A5) is a member of the Eph receptor tyrosine kinase family, which is the largest group of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs) in the human genome. They are divided into two classes-EphA and EphB-based on sequence similarity and ligand binding preferences. EphA receptors (EphA1-A10) typically bind to glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored ephrin-A ligands, whereas EphB receptors (EphB1-B6) bind to transmembrane ephrin-B ligands.1
EphA5 is predominantly expressed in the developing central nervous system, especially in the cortex, hippocampus, olfactory bulb, and retina. It is critically involved in axon guidance, particularly in the formation of retinotectal and thalamocortical projections, contributing to the correct mapping of neural circuits. In the adult brain, EphA5 influences dendritic spine maturation and synaptic plasticity, which are fundamental for learning and memory.2,3
Eph receptors, including EphA5, are often dysregulated in cancer. EphA5 displays context-dependent roles in cancer, acting as either a tumor suppressor or, in some cases, a tumor promoter, depending on the cellular environment and tumor type. Its role is influenced by its expression pattern, epigenetic status, and interactions with other signaling pathways.4 In certain cancers such as breast and prostate, EphA5 is downregulated, suggesting a tumor-suppressive function, while in others like lung and gastric cancer, EphA5 expression is elevated and correlates with a more aggressive cancer.5,6
All these makes EphA5 a promising target for therapeutic intervention. Indeed, recently an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC) targeting EphA5, has been developed as a highly selective target for directed anticancer therapy.7
