Anti-Semaphorin-3A (N-terminal) Antibody

One family of inhibitory axon guidance molecules is the semaphorins. The semaphorins include secreted, transmembrane, and GPI-anchored extracellular molecules that are involved in regulating axon guidance by inhibiting axons from growing toward incorrect targets. Semaphorin 3A (Sema3A) may play a particularly interesting role in limiting axon regeneration since it is expressed in meningeal fibroblasts that invade the injured spinal cord and surround the glial scar. In addition, the Sema3A co-receptors, Neuropilin-1 and Plexin-A1, are expressed on axons that regenerate up to the injured region, but do not cross this Sema3A-containing region. Thus, Sema3A and its co-receptors may have important roles in regulating axon guidance during neuronal development and after neuronal injury.

Our Semaphorin-3A (N-terminal) rabbit polyclonal primary antibody from PhosphoSolutions is produced in-house. It detects human, mouse, and rat Semaphorin-3A (N-terminal) and is antigen affinity purified. It is great for use in WB, ICC.

Semaphorin 3A synthetic peptide (coupled to carrier protein) corresponding to amino acids in the N-terminal region of human Sema3A. The sequence used is identical to similar regions in rat and mouse Sema3A, and has low homology to other semaphorin family members.

The antibody detects a 95kDa* protein corresponding to the apparent molecular mass of Sema3A on SDS-PAGE immunoblots of human recombinant Sema3A/Fc chimera. This antibody has not been shown to be reactive in neonatal rat brain, but has weak reactivity in adult mouse brain.
