Cell Adhesion Molecule-1. CADM1 Protein . IGSF4 Protein . TSLC1 Protein . Tumor Suppressor in Lung Cancer 1 Protein . Adhesion Molecule-1, Cell . Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 . Molecule-1, Cell Adhesion . A cell adhesion molecule that contains extracellular immunoglobulin V and C2 domains. It mediates homophilic and heterophilic cell-cell adhesion independently of calcium, and acts as a tumor suppressor in NON-SMALL-CELL LUNG CANCER (NSCLC) cells. Its interaction with NATURAL KILLER CELLS is important for their cytotoxicity and its expression by MAST CELLS plays a role in their interaction with neurons; it may also function in synapse assembly, nerve growth and differentiation. . 0.89
Neural Cell Adhesion Molecules. Cell Adhesion Molecules, Neural . NCAM 20645 . Cell Adhesion Molecule, Neural . Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule . Cell adhesion molecule involved in a diverse range of contact-mediated interactions among neurons, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and myotubes. It is widely but transiently expressed in many tissues early in embryogenesis. Four main isoforms exist, including CD56; (CD56 ANTIGEN); but there are many other variants resulting from alternative splicing and post-translational modifications.

N-Cadherins . P-Cadherins . Uvomorulin . Liver Cell Adhesion Molecules . Calcium-dependent cell adhesion proteins. They are important in the formation of ADHERENS JUNCTIONS between cells. Cadherins are classified by their distinct immunological and tissue specificities, either by letters (E- for epithelial, N- for neural, and P- for placental cadherins) or by numbers (cadherin-12 or N-cadherin 2 for brain-cadherin). Cadherins promote cell adhesion via a homophilic mechanism as in the construction of tissues and of the whole animal body. . 0.88
Cell Adhesion Molecules, Neuronal. Adhesion Molecules, Axon-Associated . Axon Associated Adhesion Molecules . Molecules, Axon-Associated Adhesion . Axon-Associated Adhesion Molecules . Neuronal Cell Adhesion Molecules . 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. . 0.86
