L1CAM is an axonal glycoprotein
belonging to the immunoglobulin supergene family. The ectodomain,
consisting of several immunoglobulin-like domains and
fibronectin-like repeats (type III), is linked via a single
transmembrane sequence to a conserved cytoplasmic domain. This cell
adhesion molecule plays an important role in nervous system
development, including neuronal migration and differentiation.
Mutations in the gene cause three X-linked neurological syndromes
known by the acronym CRASH (corpus callosum hypoplasia,
retardation, aphasia, spastic paraplegia and hydrocephalus).
Alternative splicing of a neuron-specific exon is thought to be
functionally relevant.1) Schafer, M.K., et al. FEBS Lett. 584(21):4475-4480(2010)
