Dysregulated expression and function of Plexin-β1 in ovarian cancers
BACKGROUND: Ovarian cancer has a tendency to spread within the peritoneal cavity early in the disease course. Understanding the metastatic pathways of ovarian cancer is thus of high importance for devising ovarian cancer treatment. Plexin-B1 is a cognate

The Role of Plexin-B2 in the Immune System
Plexins and semaphorins are a family of transmembrane proteins that mediate diverse roles such as cell-cell contact, cell adhesion, cell movement, and cell response.

Signaling mechanisms of plexin -B1: A receptor for semaphorin 4D.
The adult nervous system is an intricate map of neurons that forms precise connections to allow for the functioning of the human body. During development of the nervous system, neurons send out projections to sense the environment.

Plexins are receptors implicated in mediating signaling by semaphorins, a family of axonal chemorepellents. The role of specific plexins in mediating semaphorin function in vivo has not, however, yet been examined in vertebrates.

Plexin-B1 signalling promotes androgen receptor translocation to the nucleus
Semaphorins and their receptors plexins have diverse roles in many cancers affecting tumour growth, metastasis and angiogenesis. Plexin-B1, the receptor for semaphorin4D (Sema4D), has been implicated in prostate cancer where mutation of the gene and ...

Structural Bases of Plexin Signal Transduction
Plexins are a family of transmembrane receptors for the Semaphorin family of repulsive axon guidance molecules. Plexin mediated signal transduction is critical for a variety of cellular processes including regulation of adhesion and actin organization ...

The Semaphorin-Plexin signaling is important for regulating axon guidance. Binding of Semaphorin to the Plexin receptor induces the dimerization of Plexin and stimulates its cytoplasmic GAP activity towards Rap, resulting in cytoskeleton re-organization.

Plexin-A4 is a receptor for sema6A and sema6B and associates with neuropilins to transduce signals of class-3 semaphorins. We observed that plexin-A1 and plexin-A4 are required simultaneously for transduction of inhibitory sema3A signals and that they ...
