Two class A or B EPH:EFN complexes dimerise to form a 2:2 tetramer, forming a ring-like structure, in which each receptor interacts with two ligands and each ligand with two receptors (Himanen et al. 2001). In the tetrameric form the molecules are arranged so that the C-termini of both ligands are located on one side, and the C-termini of the receptors on the other (Himanen & Nikolov 2003).
