EphA2 is a cell-guidance receptor that many solid tumours overexpress; dasatinib and regorafenib block it among their many kinase targets, and it is being tested as an antibody-drug conjugate and CAR-T target. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.
A receptor tyrosine kinase for ephrin-A ligands; ligand binding suppresses growth signalling, while unliganded EphA2 phosphorylated by AKT drives motility.
| Cancer | Prevalence | Measure | Note | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Metastatic cancer | all% | Signalling protein present in most cells (EphA2 receptor, over-expressed in many solid tumours without a selecting mutation); drugs act on the pathway rather than on a mutation that selects patients, so no prevalence applies. |
