Abstract excerpt
The L1-family of cell adhesion molecules is involved in many important aspects of nervous system development. Mutations in the human L1-CAM gene cause a complicated array of neurological phenotypes; however, the molecular basis of these effects cannot be explained by a simple loss of adhesive fun...
