The ubiquitous neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM). [PDF]
Adhesive interactions are important for cell trafficking, differentiation, function and tissue differentiation. Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is involved in a diverse range of contact-mediated interactions among neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and myotubes.

The Prion Protein Controls Polysialylation of Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 during Cellular Morphogenesis. [PDF]
Despite its multi-faceted role in neurodegenerative diseases, the physiological function of the prion protein (PrP) has remained elusive. On the basis of its evolutionary relationship to ZIP metal ion transporters, we considered that PrP may contribute ...

Expression of the neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM in endocrine cells [PDF]
We examined the expression of the neural cell adhesion molecule NCAM in a number of endocrine tissues of adult rat and in an endocrine tumor cell line. NCAM was found by immunoelectron microscopy to be present on the surface of all endocrine cells in the

Promotion of cell migration by neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is enhanced by PSA in a polysialyltransferase-specific manner. [PDF]
Neural cell adhesion molecule 140 (NCAM-140) is a glycoprotein and always highly polysialylated in cancer. Functions of polysialic acid (PSA) that binds to N-glycan termini on NCAM remain unclear.

Human STX Polysialyltransferase Forms the Embryonic Form of the Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule [PDF]
PST and STX are polysialyltransferases that form polysialic acid in the neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM), although it is not known why these two polysialyltransferases exist.

The Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule Is a Receptor for Rabies Virus [PDF]
ABSTRACT Previous reports strongly suggest that, in addition to the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor, rabies virus can use other, as-yet-unidentified receptors. We found that laboratory cell lines susceptible to rabies virus infection express the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) (CD56) on their surface, whereas resistant cells do not ...

Comparison of E-cadherin and CD56 Expression in Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma and Non-Neoplastic Thyroid Lesions [PDF]
Introduction: Papillary Thyroid Carcinomas (PTC) are the most common among thyroid malignancies. The incidence of this tumour is rapidly increasing around the world. Kerala has the highest incidence of this tumour in India.
