Abstract

We cloned two kinds of cDNAs encoding novel Contactin/F3-subgroup adhesion molecules, which we termed NB-2 and NB-3. Nucleotide sequence analyses have shown that NB-2 and NB-3 are comprised of 1099 and 1028 amino acid residues, respectively. There was 51% similarity in the amino acid sequence of NB-2 and NB-3. NB-2 shared 46, 43, 55 and 55% identities with Contactin/F3, Tag-1, Big-1 and Big-2, respectively, at the amino acid sequence level. Likewise, the amino acid sequence of NB-3 exhibited 42, 44, 58 and 60% identities with Contactin/F3, Tag-1, Big-1 and Big-2, respectively. Expression of NB-2 mRNA was restricted to cerebrum, cerebellum and was hardly detectable, if any, in spinal cord. On the other hand, high expression of NB-3 mRNA was observed in spinal cord, as well as in cerebrum and cerebellum. In the other tissues, no expression of NB-2 and NB-3 mRNAs was detected.

Cell Adhesion Molecules in the Brain

Cell adhesion molecules found on cell surface help cells bind with other cells or the extracellular matrix to maintain structure and function. Here is the latest research on their role in the brain.

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
