Plexin
Encyclopedia
A plexin is a protein which acts as a receptor for semaphorin
.
Genes include:
Semaphorin
Semaphorins are a class of secreted and membrane proteins that act as axonal growth cone guidance molecules. They primarily act as short-range inhibitory signals and signal through multimeric receptor complexes. They are usually cues to deflect axons from inappropriate regions, especially...
