A membrane glycoprotein isolated from embryonic brain has been shown to be a ligand in the formation of cell-cell bonds. The molecule, called neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM), participates in several aspects of neural development, including the formation of plexiform layers, neurite fasciculation and nerve-muscle interactions. Experiments in vivo indicate that N-CAM-mediated adhesion is essential to the orderly assembly of the visual system.
从胚胎大脑中分离出的一种膜糖蛋白已被证明是细胞间连接形成过程中的一种配体。这种分子被称为神经细胞黏附分子(N-CAM),它参与神经发育的多个方面,包括神经丛层的形成、神经突束化以及神经-肌肉相互作用。体内实验表明,N-CAM介导的黏附对于视觉系统的有序组装至关重要。
