The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 is a cell surface glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin superfamily which mediates adhesion between neural cells. The possibility that similar cell-cell recognition mechanisms may be shared by the nervous and immune systems prompted us to study the expression and fu
A monoclonal antibody (mAb), 2E12, against the neural cell adhesion molecule L1 recognized the 200 kDa component of L1. The epitope of L1 reacting with mAb 2E12 was localized in its carbohydrate chain, judging from the results o C experiments on glycopeptidase F treatment. The physiological effect o
Mutations in L1CAM, the gene encoding the transmembrane multifunctional neuronal adhesion molecule L1, are associated with neurodevelopmental disorders including X-linked hydrocephalus and mental retardation. Some amino acid substitutions in various extracellular domains of L1 are known to affect po
