Sema4f Gene Summary [Mouse]

This gene encodes a member of semaphorin family of membrane-bound and secreted proteins that are involved in guiding axonal growth. The encoded protein is a transmembrane protein localized to the glutamatergic synapses via its association with a synapse-associated scaffolding protein. In oligodendrocyte precursor cells, the encoded protein contributes to the outward migration and differentiation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Sema4f often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
  • semaphorin domain
  • Plexin repeat
  • immunoglobulin domain
  • Semaphorin 4F C-terminal
  • protein binding
  • Sema domain
  • The Sema domain, a protein interacting module, of semaphorins and plexins
