Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable chemorepellent activity and semaphorin receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of axon extension involved in axon guidance; neural crest cell migration; and semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell differentiation and nervous system development. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; foot mesenchyme; intraembryonic coelom; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SEMA3D (semaphorin 3D).
