Ephrin A5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EFNA5 gene.[5][6][7]

Ephrin A5 is a glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored protein of the ephrin-A subclass of ephrin ligands that binds to the EphA subclass of Eph receptors. Ephrin A5 has also been shown to bind to the EphB2 receptor.[8]
