Primary Identifier | MGI:1203727 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 18 | NCBI Gene Number | 20358 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity; semaphorin receptor binding activity; and transmembrane signaling receptor activity. Involved in generation of neurons; positive regulation of neuron migration; and semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within cell surface receptor signaling pathway and centrosome localization. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SEMA6A (semaphorin 6A). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit defects in lamina-specific neurite stratification of specific retinal neuron subtypes and disruption of the dendritic plexus organization of On but not Off starburst amacrine cells.
