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)

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

a component

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

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
