The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) has been shown to be a ligand in the formation of cell-cell bonds. This molecule is present on essentially the entire surface of differentiated nerve cells, including the cell body, neurite shaft, and growth cone. In mediating membrane-membrane adhesion, NCAM
In the mature nervous system adhesion molecules appear to play a rather static role, maintaining synaptic connections, cell-cell contacts and stabilizing neuron-glial interactions. In contrast, during development and learning, adhesive mechanisms are dynamically regulated both spatially and temporal
