Semaphorin 6A also known as Sema6A is a transmembrane protein that plays a significant role in axon guidance and cell signaling. It has a mass of approximately 95 kDa and is a member of the semaphorin protein family. Sema6A is expressed mainly in the nervous system but also found in other tissues like the heart and kidney. In neuronal cells it interacts with plexin receptors to guide axonal pathways influencing the growth cone dynamics during neural development.
Biological function summary
Sema6A plays a role in cellular navigation during neural development. It functions as a signaling cue that aids in cell positioning by influencing the structure and orientation of the cellular cytoskeleton. Although not part of a large protein complex itself Sema6A can interact with plexins to modulate other cellular pathways. The interactions help manage axonal growth and directionality essential for proper neural circuit formation.
Pathways
Sema6A significantly influences the axon guidance and neural crest cell migration pathways. In these pathways it interacts with proteins such as plexin-A4 which play key roles in transducing semaphorin signals to the cytoskeleton. By guiding axonal direction Sema6A integrates into neural development processes as well as affecting the migration of neurons and their interaction within different tissues.
Sema6A is associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and cancer metastasis. Mutations or dysregulation within Sema6A signaling can contribute to conditions such as autism spectrum disorder where it may affect neural connectivity. In cancer irregular expression of Sema6A might influence tumor progression and metastasis by interacting with plexin receptors changing cell adhesion properties and impacting cell migration.
