It is important to note that the levels of Sema3A in different types of cancer have to be evaluated concomitantly with its receptors and the levels of competitive receptor-binding molecules, such as Sema4A (binds NRP-1), and known Plexin A1 ligands, namely - Sema3C, Sema3F, and Sema6D. Here, SEMA3A is linked to cancer.
