Preferred Label : cell adhesion molecules, Neuron-Glia;
MeSH definition : Cell adhesion molecules that mediate neuron-neuron adhesion and neuron-astrocyte adhesion.
They are expressed on neurons and Schwann cells, but not astrocytes and are involved
in neuronal migration, neurite fasciculation, and outgrowth. Ng-CAM is immunologically
and structurally distinct from NCAM.;
