L1cam

Enables identical protein binding activity; integrin binding activity; and sialic acid binding activity. Involved in maintenance of synapse structure and regulation of synapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell-cell adhesion mediated by integrin; heterophilic cell-cell adhesion via plasma membrane cell adhesion molecules; and homophilic cell adhesion via plasma membrane adhesion molecules. Located in external side of plasma membrane and terminal bouton. Is active in several cellular components, including GABA-ergic synapse; Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; nervous system; respiratory system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Used to study MASA syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in MASA syndrome; hydrocephalus; ovarian carcinoma; pancreatic cancer; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to human L1CAM (L1 cell adhesion molecule).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse L1cam often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
