Gene ID: 9037, updated on 17-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: semF; SEMAF

Summary

This gene belongs to the semaphorin gene family that encodes membrane proteins containing a semaphorin domain and several thrombospondin type-1 repeats. Members of this family are involved in axonal guidance during neural development. This gene has been implicated as an autism susceptibility gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
