INTRODUCTION
Semaphorin-4D (CD100) is a member of the semaphorin family containing 1 Ig-like C2-type domain, 1 PSI domain and 1 Sema domain. CD100 is the cell surface receptor forPLXN1B and PLXNB2 which plays a central role in cell-cell signaling. CD100 stimulates the migration of cerebellar granule cells and of endothelial cells, regulates dendrite and axon branching and morphogenesis. In addition, CD100 has a role in the immune system; it promotes signaling via SRC and PTK2B/PYK2, which subsequently mediates activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and of the AKT1 signaling cascade.
DESCRIPTION
CD100 Human Recombinant produced by mammalian expression system in human cells is a single polypeptide chain containing 721 amino acids (22-734). CD100 is fused to an 8 amino acid His-tag at C-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
