semaphorin 3A (Human)

GtoPdb Ligand ID: 9902

Compound class: Endogenous peptide in human, mouse or rat

Comment: Semaphorin 3A is a secreted class 3 semaphorin. It is a ligand for neuropilin 1. SEMA3A has an immunoglobulin-like, C2-type domain, a PSI domain and a Sema domain. This peptide is critical for normal neuronal pattern development. Increased SEMA3A expression is reported on some tumour cells [1].

Species: Human
