Semaphorins are a large family, including both secreted
and membrane associated proteins, many of which have been
implicated as inhibitors or chemorepellents in axon pathfinding,
fasciculation and branching, and target selection. All semaphorins
possess a semaphorin (Sema) domain and a PSI domain (found in
plexins, semaphorins and integrins) in the N-terminal extracellular
portion. Additional sequence motifs C-terminal to the semaphorin
domain allow classification into distinct subfamilies. Results
demonstrate that transmembrane semaphorins, like the secreted ones,
can act as repulsive axon guidance cues. This gene encodes a class
6 vertebrate transmembrane semaphorin that demonstrates alternative
splicing. Several transcript variants have been identified and
expression of the distinct encoded isoforms is thought to be
regulated in a tissue- and development-dependent manner. [provided
