Ephrin type-B receptor 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EPHB4 gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Bennett BD, Wang Z, Kuang WJ, Wang A, Groopman JE, Goeddel DV, Scadden DT | title = Cloning and characterization of HTK, a novel transmembrane tyrosine kinase of the EPH subfamily | journal = J Biol Chem | volume = 269 | issue = 19 | pages = 14211–8 |date=Jun 1994 | doi = 10.1016/S0021-9258(17)36776-5 | pmid = 8188704 | doi-access = free }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: EPHB4 EPH receptor B4| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=2050}}

Ephrin receptors and their ligands, the ephrins, mediate numerous developmental processes, particularly in the nervous system. Based on their structures and sequence relationships, ephrins are divided into the ephrin-A (EFNA) class, which are anchored to the membrane by a glycosylphosphatidylinositol linkage, and the ephrin-B (EFNB) class, which are transmembrane proteins. The Eph family of 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. Ephrin receptors make up the largest subgroup of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) family. The protein encoded by this gene binds to ephrin-B2 and plays an essential role in vascular development.{{cite journal | vauthors=Gerety SS, Wang HU, Chen ZF, Anderson DJ |title=Symmetrical mutant phenotypes of the receptor EphB4 and its specific transmembrane ligand ephrin-B2 in cardiovascular development. |journal=Mol.
