Semaphorin-5A is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SEMA5A gene.[1][2][3]

Members of the semaphorin protein family, such as SEMA5A, are involved in axonal guidance during neural development (Adams et al., 1996).[supplied by OMIM][3]

Semaphorine 5A also plays a role in autism, reducing the ability of neurons to form connections with other neurons in certain brain regions (Mosca-Boidron et al 2016).
