A requirement for neuropilin-1 in embryonic vessel formation
1 Nov 1999
Abstract excerpt
Neuropilin-1 is a membrane protein that is expressed in developing neurons and functions as a receptor or a component of the receptor complex for the class 3 semaphorins, which are inhibitory axon guidance signals. Targeted inactivation of the neuropilin-1 gene in mice induced disorganization of the pathway and projection of nerve fibers, suggesting that neuropilin-1 mediates semaphorin-elicited signals and...
