MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH annotation : do not confuse with CELL ADHESION MOLECULES, NEURON-GLIA; do not confuse X ref NEURONAL
CELL ADHESION MOLECULES with NCAM for X ref NEURAL CELL ADHESION MOLECULE; do not confuse with CELL ADHESION MOLECULES, NEURON-GLIA; do not confuse entry term
NEURONAL CELL ADHESION MOLECULES with NCAM for entry term NEURAL CELL ADHESION MOLECULE;
