Entry terms

  • Adhesion Molecules, Neuron-Glia
  • G4 Antigen
  • Neuron Glia Adhesion Molecules
  • Neuron-Glia Adhesion Molecules
  • Neuron Glia Cell Adhesion Molecules
  • Neuron-Glia Cell Adhesion Molecules
  • Ng-CAM

Note

  • do not confuse with CELL ADHESION MOLECULES, NEURONAL

Scope note

  • Cell adhesion molecules that mediate neuron-neuron adhesion and neuron-astrocyte adhesion. They are expressed on neurons and Schwann cells, but not astrocytes and are involved in neuronal migration, neurite fasciculation, and outgrowth. Ng-CAM is immunologically and structurally distinct from NCAM.

History note

  • 96; was NEURON-GLIA ADHESION MOLECULES see CELL ADHESION MOLECULES, NEURONAL 1990-95
