Anti-Semaphorin 3A/SEMA3A Antibody Picoband® (Cy3 Conjugate)

SEMA3A is also known as COLL1, SEMA1 or SEMAL. This gene is a member of the semaphorin family and encodes a protein with an Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain, a PSI domain and a Sema domain. This secreted protein can function as either a chemorepulsive agent, inhibiting axonal outgrowth, or as a chemoattractive agent, stimulating the growth of apical dendrites. In both cases, the protein is vital for normal neuronal pattern development. Increased expression of this protein is associated with schizophrenia and is seen in a variety of human tumor cell lines. Also, aberrant release of this protein is associated with the progression of Alzheimer's disease.

E.coli-derived human Semaphorin 3A recombinant protein (Position: K550-V771). Human Semaphorin 3A shares 93% and 94% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with mouse and rat Semaphorin 3A, respectively.

Involved in the development of the olfactory system and in neuronal control of puberty. Induces the collapse and paralysis of neuronal growth cones. Could serve as a ligand that guides specific growth cones by a motility-inhibiting mechanism. Binds to the complex neuropilin-1/plexin-1. .
