Cell adhesion molecule DSCAML1

UniProtKB accession:  Q8TD84

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Cell adhesion molecule that plays a role in neuronal self-avoidance (PubMed:11453658). Promotes repulsion between specific neuronal processes of either the same cell or the same subtype of cells. Promotes both isoneuronal self-avoidance for creating an orderly neurite arborization in retinal rod bipolar cells and heteroneuronal self-avoidance to maintain mosaic spacing between AII amacrine cells (By similarity). Adhesion molecule that promotes lamina-specific synaptic connections in the retina: expressed in specific subsets of interneurons and retinal ganglion cells (RGCs) and promotes synaptic connectivity via homophilic interactions (By similarity).
