semaphorin-7A; semaphorin-L; sema L; semaphorin-K1; sema K1; John-Milton-Hargen human blood group Ag; JMH blood group antigen; CDw108; CD108 (SEMA7A, CD108, SEMAL)

Function: - in monocytes stimulates a) cytokine production b) chemotaxis c) superoxide release - may have adhesion function; - may modulate immune response - may mediate neuronal function Structure: - belongs to the semaphorin family - contains 1 Ig-like C2-type domain (immunoglobulin-like) - contains 1 PSI domain - contains 1 sema domain Compartment: - cell membrane; lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor Expression: - erythrocytes - lymphoblasts - lymphocytes (low levels) - expressed in placenta, testis, ovary, spleen, brain, spinal cord, lung, heart, adrenal gland, lymph nodes, thymus, intestine & kidney [1] Pathology: - deficiency may be associated with rare form of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia [2] Laboratory: - JMH Ab in serum/plasma
