Neuropilins act as receptors for class 3 (secreted) semaphorins; Plexins are receptors for class 4, 5 and 6 (transmembrane) semaphorins and are signalling partners for class 3 semaphorins. The semaphorins and their receptors participate in numerous and diverse biological processes including neural development, immunology/inflammation, cardiac growth, vascular development, lung morphogenesis, and axial bone patterning.
