Plexin-B1 (PLXNB1)

Target
PLXNB1
Molecular classification
Receptor, Type I transmembrane glycoprotein
01

Overview

Plexin-B1 is a transmembrane receptor protein belonging to the plexin family that plays crucial roles in various biological processes including neuronal guidance, cell migration, angiogenesis, and immune response. It serves as a high-affinity receptor for Semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D/CD100) and is implicated in several pathological conditions including cancer, idiopathic hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, preeclampsia, and intracerebral hemorrhage.

02

Mechanism of action

Plexin-B1 signaling involves receptor dimerization, Rho GTPase binding, R-Ras GAP activity, receptor complex formation, and activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway. Therapeutic interventions could target these mechanisms to modulate Plexin-B1 function in disease.
