Summary

Semaphorins are a large family of conserved secreted and membrane associated proteins which possess a semaphorin (Sema) domain and a PSI domain (found in plexins, semaphorins and integrins) in the N-terminal extracellular portion. Based on sequence and structural similarities, semaphorins are put into eight classes: invertebrates contain classes 1 and 2, viruses have class V, and vertebrates contain classes 3-7. Semaphorins serve as axon guidance ligands via multimeric receptor complexes, some (if not all) containing plexin proteins. This gene encodes a class 4 semaphorin. This gene encodes a class 3 semaphorin. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]

Forensic Context

A study in human postmortem brain tissue from subjects with opioid use disorder (OUD) identified the SEMA3E as part of an angiogenesis pathway through gene ontology analysis, where it was correlated with specific cell types [Mendez et al. DOI:10.1038/s41380-021-01259-y].
