Sema4A (Semaphorin 4A; also Sema B) is a class IV member of the semaphorin family of proteins.
It is expressed by dendritic cells, monocytes, T cells, B cells, astrocytes and oligodendrocytes, plus visceral smooth muscle and bronchial epithelial cells.
It reportedly binds to Tim2 and Plexin D1 and B1.
In the immune system, it serves to activate naïve T cells and induce a Th1 phenotype.
In the nervous system, it induces growth cone collapse in neurons.
Mature human Sema4A is an 80kD (predicted) type I transmembrane glycoprotein that is 729 amino acids (aa) in length (aa33761).
It contains a 651aa extracellular region (aa33683) that is characterized by the presence of one Sema domain (aa 36494), a PSI region (aa496528), and an Iglike C2type domain (aa573631).
The 57 aa cytoplasmic region contains two potential phosphorylation sites at Thr744 and Ser747.
There are two potential splice variants.
One contains a 37aa substitution for aa293328, while a second contains an alternative start site at Met100 coupled to a deletion of aa122154.
Sema4A is reportedly cleaved to generate both a monomeric and a dimeric soluble isoforms.
Over aa 32683, human Sema4A shares 86% aa identity with mouse Sema4A.
