EPHB6
A gene on chromosome 7q33-q35 that encodes a member of the ephrin-B receptor subfamily of receptor tyrosine kinases. EPHB6 binds to ephrin-B ligands, but lacks kinase activity; it inhibits JNK activation, T-cell receptor-induced IL-2 secretion and CD25 expression when stimulated by ephrin-B2. EPHB6 interacts with CBL, EPHB1 and FYN, and is expressed in the brain, pancreas, and in in situ breast carcinoma cell lines.Segen's Medical Dictionary. © 2012 Farlex, Inc. All rights reserved.
Patient discussion about HEP
Q. Is There a Vaccine Against Hepatitis C? I've heard there is a vaccine against hepatitis A and B. Is there one for hepatitis C as well?
A. I don't think so, there was talk of one but I don't believe it was ever released. This disease does not get the attention it deserves. if it did we would have better treatment avialible.
