Abstract excerpt
The cell adhesion molecule L1 plays an important role in neural development, and mutations in human L1 have been implicated in X-linked hydrocephalus and related neurological diseases. We have previously demonstrated that recombinant proteins containing the second immunoglobulin-like domain (Ig2)...
