The major class of proteins that act as their receptors are called plexins, with neuropilins as their co-receptors in many cases https://drive.google.com/file/d/13iTpxtk0VRgbqIokOAFEtnhZ5VeY9k0g/view?usp=sharing Sema3a is influenced by cGMP. Dendrites rich in cGMP are attraceted to Sema3a Axons lacking cGMP are repelled by Sema3a Coreceptor. Plexin activation promotes Ras/RapGAP activity intrinsic to the plexin cytoplasmic domain and regulates downstream molecules, including GEFs (LARG, RhoGEF, and FARP) (Pasterkamp, 2012). # Plexins # Slit:s # Draxin # RGM RGMA Repulsive Guidance Molecule BMP Co-Receptor A # Ephrin Repels the migrating axon away from the site of Eph/ephrin activation Promote angiogenesis EPHRINA ligand EPHA EPHRINB ligand EPHB ephrin-As and ephrin-Bs have been shown to mediate cellular responses that are distinct from those associated with activation of their corresponding receptors. Specifically, ephrin-A5 was shown to stimulate growth cone spreading in spinal motor neurons[12] and ephrin-B1 was shown to promote dendritic spine maturati # Wnt [See Epigenetics](https://hackmd.io/@sholmqvist/BJpKurTBB/%2FFTG3zDLIRjOQtrWE2DD6gg#Epigenetic-regulation-of-astro--neuro-genesis) [![](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/BJbln_ACj.png)](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5201129/#:~:text=Astrocytic%20domains%20have%20been%20proposed,to%20be%20determined%20(21).) # SFRP Secreted Frizzled Related Protein 1 # SHH # Netrin NTN1 NTN2 NTN3 NTNG1 Netrin-G1 NTNG2 Netrin-G2 LRRC4 Netrin-G Ligand 2 LRRC4B Netrin-G Ligand 3 // Lrig4 LRRC4C Netrin-G Ligand 1 # BMP Bone morphogenic protein **is NOT** [See Bis(monoacylglycero)phosphate (BMP)](https://hackmd.io/wHYAtIKfSXesgS1hQW2iWg#endosomal-amp-lysosomal-membranes) # FGF
