Cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgSF) including the neural cell
adhesion molecule (NCAM) and members of the L1 family of neuronal cell adhesion …

Immunoglobulin superfamily adhesion molecules are among the most abundant proteins in
vertebrate and invertebrate nervous systems. Prominent family members are the neural cell …

During development of the nervous system, several morphogenetic processes act together
to establish its orderly structure by generating specific nerve connections. The steps …

Neural cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) of the immunoglobulin superfamily nucleate and
maintain groups of cells at key sites during early development and in the adult. In addition to …

The expression of the neural cell adhesion molecules L1 and N-CAM was investigated in
developing postnatal mouse hippocampus by immunocytochemical techniques at the light …

Adhesive mechanisms have been implicated in several morphogenetic processes during
development. In the last decade several molecules mediating specific adhesion between …

Homophilic binding of the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM) mediates the calcium-
independent cell-cell adhesion that is involved in neuronal development. Two hypotheses …

The mechanism by which the neural cell adhesion molecule, N-CAM, mediates homophilic
interactions between cells has been variously attributed to an isologous interaction of the …

The cell adhesion molecules NCAM and L1 are considered to play key roles in neuronal
development and plasticity. L1 has been shown to interact with NCAM, possibly through …

There is considerable evidence that the cell surface glycoproteins N-CAM and L1 are
important mediators of cell-cell adhesion in the nervous system, at least during …
