Sema3f 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; semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway; and ventral trunk neural crest cell migration. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of axon extension involved in axon guidance and trunk neural crest cell migration. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and plasma membrane. Orthologous to human SEMA3F (semaphorin 3F). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Sema3f often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
