Alternative use of a mini exon of the L1 gene affects L1 binding to neural ligands.
Neural cell adhesion molecule L1 is a cell surface glycoprotein required for the correct development of the nervous system. L1 exists as two isoforms encoded by mRNA species that either collectively incorporate or exclude exons 2 and 27. Neurons utilize only the full-length isoform, whereas Schwann cells, kidney cells, and blood lymphocytes only express the short form of L1. Still other cells, ...
متن کاملL1 mediated homophilic binding and neurite outgrowth are modulated by alternative splicing of exon 2.
The neural cell adhesion molecule (CAM) L1 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that has been implicated in neuronal adhesion, neurite outgrowth, and axon guidance. The clinical importance of L1 is illustrated by pathological mutations that lead to hydrocephalus, mental retardation, motor defects, and early mortality. The L1 gene is composed of 28 exons, including exons 2 and 27 that a...

P neoplasia is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in North American men. While such markers as prostate specific antigen (PSA) and human glandular kallikrein 2 (hK2) have been available for some time to screen and diagnose this disease, their non-specificity for prostate cancer and their inability to differentiate between aggressive and clinically unimportant forms of this malignancy create the...
