{"symbol":"SEMA6B","synonyms":["SEMAN","SEM-SEMA-Y","SEMAZ","SEMA-VIB"],"name":"sema domain, transmembrane domain (TM), and cytoplasmic domain, (semaphorin) 6B","description":"This gene encodes a member of the semaphorin family, a group of proteins characterized by the presence of a conserved semaphorin (sema) domain. Whereas some semaphorins are transmembrane proteins, others are secreted. Semaphorins play a major role in axon guidance. The protein encoded by this gene may be involved in both peripheral and central nervous system development.
