Primary Identifier | MGI:107559 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 20352 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable chemorepellent activity; neuropilin binding activity; and semaphorin receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axon guidance; neural crest cell migration; and semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway. Located in plasma membrane and synapse. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including back musculature; central nervous system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human SEMA4B (semaphorin 4B). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit normal cerebellar morphology. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit enhanced memory response by way of increased IgE and IgG1 serum levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
