Sema4d Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of osteoblast differentiation; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and positive regulation of nervous system development. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of axonogenesis. Is active in postsynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human SEMA4D (semaphorin 4D).

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 Sema4d often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
