PLXND1

PLXND1 (Plexin D1) is a protein coding gene. Diseases associated with PLXND1 include Moebius Syndrome and Conotruncal Heart Malformations. Among its related pathways areDevelopmental Biology and Semaphorin interactions. Gene Ontology annotations related to this gene include semaphorin receptor activity. An important paralog of the gene is PLXNB1.

Full Name

Plexin D1

Function

Cell surface receptor for SEMA4A and for class 3 semaphorins, such as SEMA3A, SEMA3C and SEMA3E. Plays an important role in cell-cell signaling, and in regulating the migration of a wide spectrum of cell types. Regulates the migration of thymocytes in the medulla. Regulates endothelial cell migration. Plays an important role in ensuring the specificity of synapse formation. Required for normal development of the heart and vasculature (By similarity).
Mediates anti-angiogenic signaling in response to SEMA3E.
