Subcellular localization

cilia

Functional category

  • Ciliary assembly/disassembly
  • Trafficking (BBSome, small GTPases, vesicular transport, ATPases)
  • Actin & cytoskeleton regulation
  • Viral interactions
  • Cell migration & adhesion
  • Signaling (Hedgehog, GPCRs, ion channels)

Function

EphA2 showed stronger staining on the apical membrane of both the ciliated cells and the secretory cells as well as the cilia (30176889).
