Overlapping and differential expression of BIG‐2, BIG‐1, TAG‐1, and F3: Four members of an axon‐associated cell adhesion molecule subgroup of the immunoglobulin superfamily

Abstract excerpt

Axon-associated cell adhesion molecules (AxCAMs) play crucial roles in the formation, maintenance, and plasticity of functional neuronal networks. We report here a molecular cloning of a novel AxCAM, BIG-2. BIG-2 is a member of TAG-1/F3 subgroup of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily, with six Ig-like domains, four fibronectin type III-like repeats, and a glycosyl phosphatidylinositol-anchoring domain....
