Plxnd1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables semaphorin receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process; nervous system development; and semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within circulatory system development; dichotomous subdivision of terminal units involved in salivary gland branching; and kidney development. Located in axon; cell body; and plasma membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; liver; and nervous system. Used to study DiGeorge syndrome. Orthologous to human PLXND1 (plexin D1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Plxnd1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
