Peptide Name: EphB3 (597-603) pY600

Product Use: Services as a blocking peptide for use with the EphB3-pY600 rabbit polyclonal antibody (Cat. No.: AB-PK611) that is also available from Kinexus. This phosphopeptide may also be useful as a substrate for screening the phosphatase activity of protein phosphatases. The peptide sequence is located in the EphA2_TM region between the transmembrane and kinase catalytic domains. This is the major in vivo phosphorylation site for EphB3. The effect of its phosphorylation is unclear.

Scientific Background: EphB3 is a member of the TK group of protein kinases in the Eph family. EphB3 is expressed during embryonic development in multiple regions of the central nervous system. In adult brain, EphB3 is expressed in the cerebellum, raphe pallidus, hippocampus, entorhinal cortex, and both motor and sensory cortices, and is moderate to highly expressed in most tested adult human tissues. Orthologues of EphB3 are highly conserved in vertebrates, including amphibians. EphB3 is activated by binding ephrin-B1, B2, or B3. Phosphorylation at Y614 induces interaction with Crk, Fyn, and RasGAP. EphB3 is involved in the maintenance of mature neuronal connections and/or re-arrangement of synaptic connections during late stages of development. EphB3 plays a role in the regulation of cell adhesion and migration, and the catalytic activity of EphB3 is required for inhibition of integrin-mediated cell adhesion. EphB3 appears to be an oncoprotein (OP). Over-expression of EphB3 has been observed in several cancer types, including colon cancer and lung cancer. Additionally, EphB3 over-expression was demonstrated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and the expression level was highly correlated with pathological features, including tumour size, differentiation, and metastasis. over-expression of EphB3 in NSCLC cell lines enhanced cell growth and migration and promoted tumourigenesis. By contrast, EphB3 knockout in NSCLC lines reduced cell proliferation and migration and suppressed tumour growth. EphB3 has been linked with the development of lung neuroendocrine carcinomas and lung small cell carcinomas (LSCC).
