Primary Identifier | MGI:1096347 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 20350 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chemorepellent activity. Involved in several processes, including nervous system development; semaphorin-plexin signaling pathway; and ventral trunk neural crest cell migration. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axon guidance; negative regulation of axon extension involved in axon guidance; and trunk neural crest cell migration. Located in extracellular space. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SEMA3F (semaphorin 3F). PHENOTYPE: Inactivation of this locus results in neuronal defects including impaired CNS axon pathfinding, and PNS and limbic system circuitry. Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased lymphatic branching complexity and LEC numbers. [provided by MGI curators] |
