Description
L1CAM, also known as neural cell adhesion molecule L1 isoform 3, is a cell adhesion receptor of the immunoglobulin superfamily, known for its roles in nerve cell function. It is now recognized to play a key role in cell migration, adhesion, neurite outgrowth, myelination and neuronal differentiation Overexpression of L1CAM in normal and cancer cells increased motility, enhanced growth rate and promoted cell transformation and tumorigenicity. Recombinant human L1CAM, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
