Background: Semaphorin 7a is required for central and peripheral axon growth and is required for proper axon tract formation during embryonic development. Semaphorin 7a is also involved in modulating immune function. Semaphorin 7a expression is highest in the brain and increases in late embryonic and postnatal stages. The Semaphorins constitute a large family of secreted and membrane-tethered cell signaling molecules. They have functions in neural development, immunology, cardiac growth, vascular development, lung morphogenesis and axial bone patterning. Semaphorins are defined by the presence of a conserved Sema domain at the N-terminus. These proteins can be classified into eight classes depending on their structure and species origin. Classes 3 through 7 are found in vertebrates; class 3 are secreted, class 7 are GPI-anchored, and class 4 through 6 are transmembrane proteins.
