Ephrin A1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the EFNA1 gene.{{cite journal | vauthors = Holzman LB, Marks RM, Dixit VM | title = A novel immediate-early response gene of endothelium is induced by cytokines and encodes a secreted protein | journal = Molecular and Cellular Biology | volume = 10 | issue = 11 | pages = 5830–8 | date = Nov 1990 | pmid = 2233719 | pmc = 361366 | doi = 10.1128/mcb.10.11.5830}}{{cite journal | vauthors = Cerretti DP, Lyman SD, Kozlosky CJ, Copeland NG, Gilbert DJ, Jenkins NA, Valentine V, Kirstein MN, Shapiro DN, Morris SW | title = The genes encoding the eph-related receptor tyrosine kinase ligands LERK-1 (EPLG1, Epl1), LERK-3 (EPLG3, Epl3), and LERK-4 (EPLG4, Epl4) are clustered on human chromosome 1 and mouse chromosome 3 | journal = Genomics | volume = 33 | issue = 2 | pages = 277–82 | date = Apr 1996 | pmid = 8660976 | doi = 10.1006/geno.1996.0192 | url = https://zenodo.org/record/1229677 }}{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: EFNA1 ephrin-A1| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=1942}}

This gene encodes a member of the ephrin (EPH) family. The ephrins and EPH-related receptors comprise the largest subfamily of receptor protein-tyrosine kinases and have been implicated in mediating developmental events, especially in the nervous system and in erythropoiesis. 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. This gene encodes an EFNA class ephrin which binds to the EPHA2, EPHA4, EPHA5, EPHA6, and EPHA7 receptors. Two transcript variants that encode different isoforms were identified through sequence analysis.{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: EFNA1 ephrin-A1| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=1942}}
