PLXNA3 plexin A3

Gene ID: 55558, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: 6.3; PLXN3; PLXN4; XAP-6; HSSEXGENE

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the plexin class of proteins. The encoded protein is a class 3 semaphorin receptor, and may be involved in cytoskeletal remodeling and as well as apoptosis. Studies of a similar gene in zebrafish suggest that it is important for axon pathfinding in the developing nervous system. This gene may be associated with tumor progression.
