    motifs/domains
  • an extracellular semaphorin domain
  • a transmembrane domain
  • a long cytoplasmic tail containing an EVL binding site

    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies ortholog to murine Sema6a
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • semaphorin family
    • CATEGORY signaling , receptor membrane
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    basic FUNCTION
  • retrograde signaling
  • having a novel function in the cytoskeleton and a playing a role in modulating tubulin isotype composition and microtubule dynamics
  • mediate spatially regulated repulsion within the developing eye to promote eye vesicle cohesion
  • SEMA6A and its receptor PLXNA2 control the ability of migrating granule cells to switch from one mode of migration to the other (tangentially in the external granule cell layer or radially)

    protein
  • EMA/VASP
  • semaphorin protein families
  • interacting with PLXNA2 (semaphorin-plexin signaling modulates cell migration by controlling centrosome positioning)
  • FARP1 serves as a specific effector of transmembrane SEMA6A and PLXNA4 signals to regulate lateral motor column (LMC) dendritic growth
