Functions of axon guidance receptors, plexins, in the developing hippocampus

We have shown that axon guidance molecule Sema6A and its receptor, plexin-A2 and plexin-A4, regulate the lamina-restricted projection of the hippocampal mossy fibers. We examined the role of semaphoring/plexin signaling in the formation of hippocampal network, and found that the Sema6A/plexin-A4 signaling is required for the sub-dendritc projection of the axons of hippocampal mossy cells. We also identified the molecular domain that is required for the dendritic localization of plexin-A2.
