Definition / general
- Also called SEMA4D, semaphorin 4D
- Integral membrane protein and ligand for CD72 and plexin-B1
- Functions:
- Regulates axonal growth cone guidance in the developing CNS through its receptor plexin-B1, which may be related to its expression in invading islands of transformed epithelial cells (but not normal and noninvasive dysplastic epithelium, Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2006;103:9017)
- Evokes angiogenic responses from endothelial cells (Blood 2005;105:4321)
- Impairs monocyte migration
- After vascular injury, platelet associated CD100 binds to CD100 receptors on nearby platelets to promote thrombus formation (Proc Natl Acad Sci USA 2007;104:1621)
- Increases CD45 induced T cell adhesion
- Down regulates B cell expression of CD23
- Expression may have prognostic value in soft tissue sarcoma (Cancer 2007;110:164)
Uses by pathologists
- No significant clinical use by pathologists
Microscopic (histologic) images
Positive staining - normal
- Most hematopoietic cells including platelets, increased expression after T cell activation
Negative staining
- Immature bone marrow cells
