Cell Adhesion Molecules, Neuronal - Pharmacology
Research News and Information

Definition of 'Cell Adhesion Molecules, Neuronal'

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.

Common names: Cell Adhesion Molecules, Neuronal; Neuronal Cell Adhesion Molecules; Axon-Associated Adhesion Molecules; Adhesion Molecules, Axon-Associated; Axon Associated Adhesion Molecules; Molecules, Axon-Associated Adhesion

Reelin signaling antagonizes beta-amyloid at the synapse.

31 Aug 2009 Abnormal processing of the amyloid precursor protein (APP) and beta-amyloid (Abeta) plaque accumulation are defining features of Alzheimer disease (AD), a genetically complex neurodegenerative disease that is characterized by progressive synapse ... Read more...


Reelin and Notch1 cooperate in the development of the dentate gyrus.

29 Jun 2009 The development of the hippocampal dentate gyrus is a complex process in which several signaling pathways are involved and likely interact with each other. The extracellular matrix molecule Reelin is necessary both for normal development of the ... Read more...


Physiological response of bovine subcommissural organ to endothelin 1 and bradykinin.

20 Apr 2009 The circumventricular organs (CVOs) regulate certain vegetative functions. Receptors for bradykinin (BDK) and endothelin (ET) have been found in some CVOs. The subcommissural organ (SCO) is a CVO expressing BDK-B2 receptors and secreting Reissner's ... Read more...
