Summary
Predicted to enable semaphorin receptor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including branchiomotor neuron axon guidance; cranial nerve structural organization; and positive regulation of axonogenesis. Predicted to act upstream of or within nervous system development; regulation of axon extension involved in axon guidance; and regulation of negative chemotaxis. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be part of semaphorin receptor complex. Predicted to be active in cerebellar climbing fiber to Purkinje cell synapse and plasma membrane.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Status: VALIDATED

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (3) has a different 3' terminal exon, and is missing many coding exons found in variant 1. It thus encodes a shorter isoform (3) with the same N-terminus, but a different C-terminus compared to isoform 1.
