| Function: | Coreceptor for SEMA3A and SEMA6A. Necessary for signaling 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. The plexin modulates the affinity of the complex for specific semaphorins, and its cytoplasmic domain is required for the activation of down-stream signaling events in the cytoplasm. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10520994, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10781943, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20877282}. | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. Interacts with RND1 (By similarity). Interacts directly with NRP1 and NRP2. The PLXNA2 homodimer interacts with a SEMA6A homodimer, giving rise to a heterotetramer. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10520994, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10781943, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20877282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20881961}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20877282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20881961}; Single-pass type I membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20877282, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20881961}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the plexin family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAH68155.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; Sequence=BAA13189.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Truncated N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
