Unique ID: D019006
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D019006
Annotation: NCAM: note entry term NEURAL CELL ADHESION MOLECULE but do not confuse this entry term with NEURONAL CELL ADHESION MOLECULES see CELL ADHESION MOLECULES, NEURONAL
Scope Note: Cell adhesion molecule involved in a diverse range of contact-mediated interactions among neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and myotubes. It is widely but transiently expressed in many tissues early in embryogenesis. Four main isoforms exist, including CD56; (CD56 ANTIGEN); but there are many other variants resulting from alternative splicing and post-translational modifications. (From Pigott & Power, The Adhesion Molecule FactsBook, 1993, pp115-119)
