Sema4f Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chemorepellent activity; neuropilin binding activity; and semaphorin receptor binding activity. Involved in axon guidance. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of axon extension and retinal ganglion cell axon guidance. Located in postsynaptic membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Orthologous to human SEMA4F (ssemaphorin 4F). [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 rat 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.
