Western blot - Anti-Plexin A4 antibody (AB39350)

This blot was produced using a 3-8% Tris Acetate gel under the TA buffer system. The gel was run at 150V for 60 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 3% Milk before being incubated with ab39350 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was detected using an anti-rabbit antibody conjugated to HRP, and visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.

ICC/IF image of ab39350 stained human SH-SY5Y cells. The cells were methanol fixed (5 min), permabilised in TBS-T (20 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab39350, 1μg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine was used to quench autofluorescence and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).

Supplementary information

Plexin A4 also known as PLXNA4 is a protein with a mass of approximately 220 kDa. It functions as a receptor for semaphorin proteins which play an important role in guiding axon pathways during neural development. Plexin A4 binds to its semaphorin ligands and initiates signal transduction resulting in growth cone collapse and axonal growth direction changes. It is highly expressed in the central nervous system particularly in the brain and the spinal cord.
Biological function summary

Plexin A4 facilitates axonal pathfinding and neuronal network formation by interacting with semaphorin ligands and it often functions as part of a receptor complex. The receptor complex typically involves neuropilins which binds to semaphorins with higher affinity and subsequently recruits Plexin A4 for signal transduction. This signaling regulates not only neural development but also plays roles in immune response modulation and vascular development.

Pathways

Plexin A4 engages in semaphorin-plexin signaling and contributes significantly to axonal guidance pathways. It forms part of a signaling cascade with proteins like the neuropilins and other members of the plexin family orchestrating neuronal connectivity. Additionally it interacts with the Rho family of GTPases such as RhoA and Rac1 which are underlying signaling molecules that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics essential for cell migration and morphogenesis.

Disrupted Plexin A4 function associates with neurological conditions like autism spectrum disorders and neurodegenerative diseases. Aberrant Plexin A4 signaling impacts neuronal circuity leading to such disorders. Additionally its involvement in the immune response connects Plexin A4 to autoimmune diseases where dysregulation may contribute to pathogenesis. It often work alongside proteins like semaphorin 3A and neuropilins that are similarly implicated in these disorders.

Target data

Coreceptor for SEMA3A. Necessary for signaling by class 3 semaphorins and subsequent remodeling of the cytoskeleton. Plays a role in axon guidance in the developing nervous system. 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.
