Preferred Label : neural cell adhesion molecules;
MeSH definition : 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; (ANTIGENS, CD56); but there are many other variants resulting from alternative
splicing and post-translational modifications. (From Pigott & Power, The Adhesion
Molecule FactsBook, 1993, pp115-119); Cell adhesion molecule involved in a diverse range of contact-mediated interactions
