SEMA5A

Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

An Error has occurred retrieving Wikidata item for infobox Semaphorin-5A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEMA5A gene.[1][2][3]

Members of the semaphorin protein family, such as SEMA5A, are involved in axonal guidance during neural development.[3][1]

Semaphorin 5A also plays a role in autism, reducing the ability of neurons to form connections with other neurons in certain brain regions.[4][5]
