Background Information
L1CAM, also known as NCAM-L1 or CD171, is a cell adhesion molecule of the immunoglobulin superfamily. It is a 200-220 kDa transmembrane glycoprotein composed of six Ig-like domains and five fibronectin type III repeats followed by a transmembrane region and a highly conserved cytoplasmic tail (PMID: 3412448; 22796939). L1CAM is primarily expressed in the nervous system and is involved in neuron-neuron adhesion, neurite fasciculation, outgrowth of neurites, cerebellar granule cell migration, neurite outgrowth on Schwann cells and interactions among epithelial cells of intestinal crypts (PMID: 3412448; 10767310). L1CAM is overexpressed in many human cancers and is often associated with bad prognosis (PMID: 27267927; 26111503). It has been reported that L1CAM can be proteolytically cleaved into a soluble fragment of 140 kDa and an intracellular fragment of 80-85 kDa (PMID: 30842511; 34380733). This antibody raised against 1206-1221aa of human L1CAM detects 200-220 kDa full-length L1CAM and 80-kDa cleaved fragment of L1CAM.
