NCAM-L1 Neural cell adhesion molecule involved in the dynamics of cell adhesion and in the generation of transmembrane signals at tyrosine kinase receptors. During brain development, critical in multiple processes, including neuronal migration, axonal growth and fasciculation, and synaptogenesis. In the mature brain, plays a role in the dynamics of neuronal structure and function, including synaptic plasticity. Belongs to the immunoglobulin superfamily. L1/neurofascin/NgCAM family. 3 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
