Abstract excerpt
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and its polysialylated isoform (PSA-NCAM) have been shown to influence the proliferation, differentiation and survival of different cell types. Here, we report the pattern of expression of NCAM and PSA-NCAM in the anterior lobe (AL) of the pituitary gland of the adult mouse. We demonstrate that the majority of cells express NCAM, while PSA-NCAM is retained mostly on...
