PLXNA4 polyclonal antibody

Plexin-A4, also known as PLXNA4 or FAYV2820, is a 1,894 amino acid singlepass type I membrane protein that contains one sema domain, three PSI domains and four IPT/TIG domains. Belonging to a large family of semaphorin (SEMA) receptors, plexin-A4 forms a complex with neuropilin and, once complexed, can propagate SEMA3A-induced inhibitory signals into neurons and cells, possibly playing a role in early nerve development. Four isoforms of plexin-A4 exist due to alternative splicing events. The gene encoding plexin-A4 maps to human chromosome 7, which houses over 1,000 genes and comprises nearly 5% of the human genome. Defects in some of the genes localized to chromosome 7 have been linked to osteogenesis imperfecta, Williams-Beuren syndrome, Pendred syndrome, lissencephaly, citrullinemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .
