FAMILY

semaphorin family

CATEGORY

secretory , tumor suppressor

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,membrane
	intracellular,cytoplasm,organelle,endoplasmic reticulum

basic FUNCTION	repellent of the nerve growth cone guidance
	inhibiting axonal extension by providing local signals to specify territories inaccessible for growing axons
	may be involved in regulating cell-sorting in the formation and regeneration of the periodontal attachment structure (Lallier 2004)
	can act as a tumor suppressor by inducing apoptosis either by reexpression in tumor cells or applied as a soluble ligand (Castro-rivera 2004)
	angiogenesis inhibitor that is inactivated by furin-like pro-protein convertases (Varshavsky 2008)
	role of the PLXNA2 receptor in SEMA3A and SEMA3B signal transduction

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

member of class 3 semaphorins (Koyama 2008)

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	interacting with VEGF(compete with SEMA3B for binding on the cell surface and antagonizing the negative regulatory effect of SEMA3B on cell growth)
	interacting with IGFBP6 (IGFBP6 is the effector of tumor suppressor activity of SEMA3B)(Koyama 2008)
	interacting with VEGFA (VEGFA, produced by tumor cells, acts as an autocrine survival factor and SEMA3B mediates its tumor-suppressing effects, at least in part, by blocking this VEGF autocrine activity)(Castro-Rivera 2004)
