This paper shows that plexins are receptors for many classes of semaphorin, either alone or in combination with neuropilin-1. In particular, it is of note that plexin-B1 is a receptor for SEMA4D and that plexin-C1 is a receptor for SEMA7A.

Immunol. 160, 4662-4665 (1998). This paper shows that the cytoplasmic region of CD72 contains ITIMs and that it recruits SHP1 through its ITIM, which indicates that CD72 might function as a negative regulator.
