Neuropilins and Plexins
Unless otherwise stated all data on this page refer to the human proteins. Gene information is provided for human (Hs), mouse (Mm) and rat (Rn).
Overview
Neuropilins act as receptors for class 3 (secreted) semaphorins; Plexins are receptors for class 4, 5 and 6 (transmembrane) semaphorins and are signalling partners for class 3 semaphorins. The semaphorins and their receptors participate in numerous and diverse biological processes including neural development, immunology/inflammation, cardiac growth, vascular development, lung morphogenesis, and axial bone patterning.
