Recombinant Human Plexin-A4 (PLXNA4), Truncated

Uniprot Id

Q9HCM2

Target Species

Human

Target Name

PLXNA4

Target Full Name

Plexin-A4

Target Function

Coreceptor for SEMA3A. Necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton. Plays a role in axon guidance in the developing nervous system. Class 3 semaphorins bind to a complex composed of a neuropilin and a plexin. The plexin modulates the affinity of the complex for specific semaphorins, and its cytoplasmic domain is required for the activation of down-stream signaling events in the cytoplasm.

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Plexin family

Target Background

Predicted to enable semaphorin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axon guidance; positive regulation of axonogenesis; and regulation of GTPase activity. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of axon extension involved in axon guidance; and regulation of negative chemotaxis. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of semaphorin receptor complex. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane.
