Abstract excerpt
The vertebrate L1 family of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) and their fly homolog, Neuroglian, are members of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily of CAMs. In general, Ig CAMs have been found to play critical roles in mediating axon guidance. One Ig CAM, NCAM, has also been implicated in maintaining epithelial integrity and suppressing metastatic dissemination of tumor cells. Other Ig CAMs, such as Nrg, are also...
