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 plasma membrane and synapse. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including back musculature; central nervous system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human SEMA4B (semaphorin 4B).
