Semaphorin-4A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEMA4A gene. [5] [6]

Contents

Function

SEMA4A is a member of the semaphorin family of soluble and transmembrane proteins. Semaphorins are involved in guidance of axonal migration during neuronal development and in immune responses.[supplied by OMIM] [6]

Clinical significance

A germline variant in SEMA4A (V78M) has been demonstrated to confer risk for colorectal cancer type X. [7]

Recently it has been identified as a novel therapeutic target in Multiple myeloma. [8]

It is an immune checkpoint receptor and as such is the target of various drug development programs by pharmaceutical companies seeking to develop new treatments for cancer and autoimmune disorders. In soluble form it is also being developed as a cancer drug in its own right.
