SEMA3F Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes a member of the semaphorin III family of secreted signaling proteins that are involved in axon guidance during neuronal development. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal Sema domain, an immunoglobulin loop and a C-terminal basic domain. This gene is expressed by the endothelial cells where it was found to act in an autocrine fashion to induce apoptosis, inhibit cell proliferation and survival, and function as an anti-tumorigenic agent. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016], developmental stage:Detected as early as embryonic day 10., function:May play a role in cell motility and cell adhesion., similarity:Belongs to the semaphorin family., similarity:Contains 1 Ig-like C2-type (immunoglobulin-like) domain., similarity:Contains 1 Sema domain., tissue specificity:Expressed abundantly but differentially in a variety of neural and nonneural tissues. There is high expression in mammary gland, kidney, fetal brain, and lung and lower expression in heart and liver.
