Semaphorin-4A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEMA4A gene. [5] [6]
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]
A germline variant in SEMA4A (V78M) has been demonstrated to confer risk for colorectal cancer type X. [7]
