Function

Cell adhesion protein that is required for normal responses to cell-cell contacts in brain and in the peripheral nervous system. Plays a role in neurite outgrowth in response to contactin binding (PubMed:11564762). Plays a role in mediating cell-cell contacts between Schwann cells and axons (PubMed:20188654). Plays a role in the formation and maintenance of the nodes of Ranvier on myelinated axons. Nodes of Ranvier contain clustered sodium channels that are crucial for the saltatory propagation of action potentials along myelinated axons. During development, nodes of Ranvier are formed by the fusion of two heminodes. Required for normal clustering of sodium channels at heminodes; not required for the formation of mature nodes with normal sodium channel clusters (PubMed:14602817, PubMed:20188654). Required, together with GLDN, for maintaining NFASC and sodium channel clusters at mature nodes of Ranvier (PubMed:24719088).

Activity summary

NrCAM also known as Neuronal Cell Adhesion Molecule is a protein involved in cell-cell adhesion. It is part of the immunoglobulin superfamily and has a molecular weight of approximately 135 kDa. NrCAM is expressed mainly in the nervous system including areas like the brain and spinal cord. It plays a role in the development and maintenance of neural connections acting as a conduit between neurons.

Biological function summary

NrCAM functions in neural development and synaptic plasticity. It is not only a standalone protein but forms complexes with other adhesion molecules to maintain neural circuit integrity. Through its interactions NrCAM supports processes like axon guidance and dendritic spine formation. It also participates in signaling pathways that regulate these neural processes contributing to the dynamic environment necessary for brain development and function.

Pathways

NrCAM is involved in the formation of neural networks and cellular signaling cascades. It links to pathways such as the axon guidance pathway and neuronal signaling cascade. Through these routes it interacts with proteins like L1CAM and contactin which are pivotal in promoting correct neural patterning. Together these proteins facilitate the direction and bonding between neurons ensuring the establishment of proper neural connections.

Associated diseases and disorders

NrCAM has associations with neurological conditions like autism spectrum disorder and schizophrenia. Research indicates that alterations in NrCAM expression or function may contribute to the symptoms observed in these disorders. It links with proteins such as DISC1 in schizophrenia context affecting pathways that influence brain connectivity and cognitive function. Understanding NrCAM's role could lead to advancements in therapeutic strategies for these conditions.
