Facts about Plexin-A2.
Coreceptor for SEMA3A and SEMA6A.
Necessary for indicating by SEMA6A and class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton.Plays a role in axon guidance, invasive growth and cell migration. Class 3 semaphorins bind to a complex composed of a neuropilin and a plexin.
