SEMA6D Antibody

Semaphorins are a large family, including both secreted and membrane associated proteins, many of which have been implicated as inhibitors or chemorepellents in axon pathfinding, fasciculation and branching, and target selection. All semaphorins possess a semaphorin (Sema) domain and a PSI domain (found in plexins, semaphorins and integrins) in the N-terminal extracellular portion. Additional sequence motifs C-terminal to the semaphoring domain allow classification into distinct subfamilies. Results demonstrate that transmembrane semaphorins, like the secreted ones, can act as repulsive axon guidance cues. SEMA6D is a class 6 vertebrate transmembrane semaphorin that demonstrates alternative splicing. Six transcript variants have been identified and expression of the distinct encoded isoforms is thought to be regulated in a tissue- and development-dependent manner.Semaphorins are a large family, including both secreted and membrane associated proteins, many of which have been implicated as inhibitors or chemorepellents in axon pathfinding, fasciculation and branching, and target selection.

For short periods of storage (days) store at 4˚ C. For longer periods of storage, store SEMA6D antibody at -20˚ C. As with any antibody avoid repeat freeze-thaw cycles.

SEMA6D antibody can be used for detection of SEMA6D by ELISA at 1:312500. SEMA6D antibody can be used for detection of SEMA6D by western blot at 1 μ g/mL, and HRP conjugated secondary antibody should be diluted 1:50,000 - 100,000.
