Sema5b Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable chemorepellent activity and semaphorin receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within axon extension; detection of light stimulus involved in visual perception; and neuron projection guidance. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future brain; genitourinary system; and trunk connective tissue. Orthologous to human SEMA5B (semaphorin 5B). [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 Sema5b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
