Neural recognition molecules such as the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) have been implicated in synaptic plasticity, including long-term potentiation (LTP), sensitization, and learning and memory. The major isoform of NCAM carrying the longest cytoplasmic domain of all NCAM isoforms (NCAM180)
The influence of the neural cell adhesion molecule L1 on hippocampal long-term potentiation (LTP) was investigated using transgenic mice ectopically expressing L1 in astrocytes (GFAP-Ll). L1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of homophilic adhesion molecules predominantly expressed in neu
The a-2,Slinked polysialic acid (PSA) modification of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) modulates morphogenetic cell interactions. PSA is strongly expressed during neural development and generally down-regulated in the adult. However, it remains prominent in some areas of the brain, e.g., the
