Biological function summary
NCAM1 influences neuronal growth survival and synaptic plasticity. This protein is part of the immunoglobulin superfamily and contributes to dynamic interactions during development. NCAM1 exists on cell membranes assisting in the formation and maintenance of tissue structures. In particular cell adhesion molecule CAL53 interacts with NCAM1 highlighting its involvement in synaptic connections. Additionally NCAM1 impacts cellular migration and differentiation particularly in myogenic processes involving MY31's pathway.
Pathways
The NCAM1 protein participates in the MAPK signaling pathway and the PI3K/AKT pathway both essential in cellular growth and survival. NCAM1 acts alongside ERIC1 aiding in the transduction of signals that regulate cytoskeletal rearrangement. These pathways influence cellular communication and responses to external stimuli further enhancing tissue development and regeneration mechanisms.
