Fundamentals of NCAM Expression, Function, and Regulation of Alternative Splicing in Neuronal Differentiation

The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM; CD56) is a member of the immunoglobulin protein superfamily. It has been described as a key molecule for the regulation of neuronal differentiation, synaptogenesis, memory formation, and neuronal plasticity. Alternative splicing gives rise to at least 20-30 N...
