Gene: EPHA5 
Alternate names for this Gene:  CEK7|EHK-1|EHK1|EK7|HEK7|TYRO4
Gene Summary: This gene belongs to the ephrin receptor subfamily of the protein-tyrosine kinase family. EPH and EPH-related receptors have been implicated in mediating developmental events, particularly in the nervous system. Receptors in the EPH subfamily typically have a single kinase domain and an extracellular region containing a Cys-rich domain and 2 fibronectin type III repeats. The ephrin receptors are divided into 2 groups based on the similarity of their extracellular domain sequences and their affinities for binding ephrin-A and ephrin-B ligands. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. 
Gene is located in Chromosome:  4
Location in Chromosome :  4q13.1-q13.2
