Rabbit Anti-PLXNB3/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Plexins are a family of large, transmembrane receptors for multiple classes of semaphorins in vertebrates. They are widely expressed, and regions of their extracellular domain are homologus to both scatter factor receptors and semaphorin domains. Plexins may act as semaphorin receptors alone or in combination with neuropilins. Plexins are divided into four subfamilies designated plexin-A, -B, -C, and -D. Plexin-B1 and -B2 are both receptors for Sema4D, which stimulates axonal outgrowth of embryonic dorsal root ganglion neurons. . Plexin-B3 binds to Sema5A, which controls axon guidance and can initiate the intracellular signaling of the hepatocyte growth factor/scatter factor receptor Met.
Function:
Receptor for SEMA5A. Plays a role in axon guidance, invasive growth and cell migration.
Subunit:
Interacts (via cytoplasmic domain) with RAC1 and ARHGDIA (By similarity). Binds MET and MST1R. Interacts (via cytoplasmic domain) with FSCN1. Interacts with RIT2/RIN. May form homodimers (via Sema domain).
Subcellular Location:
Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Note=Colocalizes with RIT2/RIN at the plasma membrane.
Tissue Specificity:
Detected at very low levels in several fetal tissues.
Similarity:
Belongs to the plexin family.
Contains 4 IPT/TIG domains.
Contains 1 Sema domain.
