Drosophila Plexin B is a Sema-2a receptor required for axon guidance.

Development (Cambridge, England) - 1 Jun 2006

Ayoob Joseph C, Terman Jonathan R, Kolodkin Alex L

Abstract excerpt

Plexin receptors play a crucial role in the transduction of axonal guidance events elicited by semaphorin proteins. In Drosophila, Plexin A (PlexA) is a receptor for the transmembrane semaphorin semaphorin-1a (Sema-1a) and is required for motor and central nervous system (CNS) axon guidance in the developing embryonic nervous system. However, it remains unknown how PlexB functions during neural development and...
