About L1cam

Summary

Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; Integrin binding activity; and sialic acid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell-cell adhesion mediated by integrin; heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Located in external side of plasma membrane; presynaptic membrane; and terminal bouton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; nervous system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Used to study MASA syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in MASA syndrome; hydrocephalus; ovarian carcinoma; pancreatic cancer; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human L1CAM (L1 cell adhesion molecule).
