QuickView for cell adhesion molecules, neuronal (compound)

Name:	Cell Adhesion Molecules, Neuronal
Description:	Surface ligands that mediate cell-to-cell adhesion and function in the assembly and interconnection of the vertebrate nervous system. These molecules promote cell adhesion via a homophilic mechanism. These are not to be confused with NEURAL CELL ADHESION MOLECULES, now known to be expressed in a variety of tissues and cell types in addition to nervous tissue.
Synonyms:	Neuronal Cell Adhesion Molecules
