Abstract:Semaphorin 4D (SEMA4D, CD100) normally functions to regulate the motility and differentiation of multiple cell types, including those of the immune, vascular, and nervous systems. In the setting of cancer, SEMA4D promotes tumor progression and metastasis. SEMA4D and its receptor plexin B1 are broadly expressed in murine and human tumors; expression correlates with invasive disease in several human tumors. SEMA4D is highly expressed on T cells and is also released as a biologically active soluble molecule by ac… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
