Abstract excerpt
The cell adhesion molecule L1 plays an important role in neural development. We have previously demonstrated that the second immunoglobulin-like domain (Ig2) of L1 contains both homophilic binding and neuritogenic activities (Zhao, X., and Siu, C.-H. (1995) J. Biol. Chem. 270, 29413-29421). Recently, two mutations (R184Q and H210Q) within the Ig2 region of the human L1 gene have been shown to be responsible for...
