Mouse Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule L1, L1CAM ELI

Neural cell adhesion molecule involved in the dynamics of cell adhesion and in the generation of transmembrane signals at tyrosine kinase receptors.

During brain development, critical in multiple processes, including neuronal migration, axonal growth and fasciculation, and synaptogenesis.

In the mature brain, plays a role in the dynamics of neuronal structure and function, including synaptic plasticity.
