[supplied by OMIM][5] SEMA7A is expressed in various adult tissues such as adipose, colon, esophagus, heart, brain, spleen, testis, lung, ovary, and uterus.
[7] Embryonic Sema7A expression is noticeable at all developmental stages as well as in the newborn and adult thymus, indicative of a development T-cell role.
[7] In wild type neurons, addition of Sema7A under in vitro conditions promotes elongation and branching in a dose dependent manner.
[12][13] Tumor cell growth, EMT, lung metastasis and angiogenesis have been linked to increased Sema7a expression in murine models.
