PLXNA4
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. Interacts with NRP1 and NRP2. Belongs to the plexin family. 4 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
