Sema4c Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chemorepellent activity; neuropilin binding activity; and semaphorin receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including nervous system development; positive regulation of stress-activated MAPK cascade; and regulation of postsynapse assembly. Predicted to be located in postsynaptic density. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic density membrane; and synaptic vesicle membrane. Orthologous to human SEMA4C (semaphorin 4C). [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 Sema4c often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
