In addition, both ephrin-B2 and its receptor
EphB4 are expressed in mature monocytes and lymphocytes and regulate their motility, adhesion, transmigration, and the secretion of inflammatory mediators [17].

EPHB4 in human placenta," The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, vol.
Briefly in maintaining homeostasis of bone remodeling, osteoclasts express ephrinB2, a transmembrane ligand, while osteoblasts express the
EphB4 receptor.
Several organ- or tumor-specific markers, such as CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen), EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), PSA (prostate-specific antigen), HER-2 (human epidermal growth factor receptor 2), MUC-1 (mucin 1),
EphB4 (ephrin type-B receptor 4), IGF-1R(insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor), cadherin 11, and CSV (cell-surface vimentin) have also been reported for antibody-based isolation of CTCs (see online Supplemental Table 1).
The
EphB4 receptor suppresses breast cancer cell tumorigenicity through an Abl-Crk pathway.
En este sentido, se ha observado que genes como efirina B2 y
EphB4 se expresan en endotelio arterial y venoso respectivamente, antes que la circulacion este totalmente madura (Wang et al., 1998).

EphB4 in glioma tissues correlated to the progression of glioma and the prognosis of glioblastoma patients," Clinical and Translational Oncology, vol.
The cellular analysis of the two-color immunofluorescence in ventral horn of the rat spinal cord showed a colocalization of the EphA1, EphA2, EphA7, EphA8, EphB1,
EphB4, and EphB6 receptors, as well as the ephrin A5 with the NF-200 positive motor neurons of this region.
EphB4 is a receptor tyrosine kinase that is expressed on epithelial cells during fetal life.
