Rapid axonal transport of the neural cell adhesion molecule.
The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is a cell-surface glycoprotein that mediates cell-cell interactions in the nervous system during development. In the present study, we demonstrate that NCAM is axonally transported in 3-d-old chick retinal ganglion cells and that it travels within the fast component of axonal transport (FC). Proteins were radiolabeled in retinal ganglion cell bodies afte...
متن کاملMorphometrical Study of Polysialylated Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule Positive Cells in Rat Pups Hippocampus Following Induction of Seizure during Pregnancy
Background:The polysialylated neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM) is expressed in developing brain. Fetal brain damage is caused by different conditions such as seizure and hypoxia. The present study was designed to investigate the effect of maternal seizures on the number of PSA-NCAM positive cells in pup's hippocampus. Methods: Female Wistar rats were divided into four groups: (a) kindle...
متن کاملcyclic amp pathway modifies memory through neural cell adhesion molecule alterations in the rat hippocampus.
neural cell adhesion molecules (ncams) are known to influence memory by affecting neural cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix junctions. this study investigated the possible role of camp pathway in the expression of hippocampal ncam and its polysialylated derivative (psa-ncam). the following pharmacological tools were employed for manipulation of camp pathway: a) forskolin; the activator of ...
متن کاملThe ubiquitous neural cell adhesion molecule (N-CAM)
Adhesive interactions are important for cell trafficking, differentiation, function and tissue differentiation. Neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) is 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 but there are many ot...
متن کاملVisualization of neural cell adhesion molecule by electron microscopy
The 130- and 160-kD polypeptide forms of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) were analyzed by electron microscopy after low angle rotary shadowing and freeze replication. Individual NCAM molecules appeared as uniformly thick rods, with a distinct bend or hinge region near their middle. Aggregates were also present, containing two to six rods in a pinwheel-like configuration without measura...
