Description
NCAM2 is a member of the immunoglobulin superfamily of cell adhesion molecules (IgCAMs). The neural cell adhesion molecule 2 (NCAM2) is encoded by a gene on chromosome 21 in humans. Neural cell adhesion molecules 2 (NCAM2/OCAM/RNCAM), is a paralog of NCAM1. The protein exists in transmembrane and a lipid-anchored isoform and has an ectodomain consisting of five immunoglobulin modules and two fibronectin type 3 homology modules. Structural models of the NCAM2 ectodomain reveal that it facilitates cell adhesion through reciprocal interactions between the membrane-distal immunoglobulin modules.NCAM (Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule) proteins are involved in axonal migration, synaptic formation, and plasticity. Poor axonal growth and fasciculation are observed in animal models deficient for NCAM2.
This Human NCAM2 overexpression lysate was created in HEK293 Cells and intented for use as a Western blot (WB) positive control. Purification of NCAM2 protein from the overexpression lysate was verified
