High impact information on Plxnb2

In addition to plexin-B1 that is known as a Sema4D receptor, binding experiments indicate plexin-B2 as another receptor candidate for Sema4D [1].
In the tooth bud, Plxna1 and Plxnb1 are expressed in the oral epithelium, enamel knot and in both the inner and outer enamel epithelium, whereas the expression of Plxnb2 is more restricted to the inner enamel epithelium [2].

Anatomical context of Plxnb2

Plxnb1 and Plxnb2 are expressed in the immature glomeruli and mesenchyme of the developing kidney [2].
