    Glossary Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule

    protein aiding cell-cell adhesion in neurons and immune cells

    Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule (NCAM), also known as CD56, is a protein found on the surface of certain cells, including neurons and natural killer cells. It plays a crucial role in cell-cell adhesion, which is essential for the development and maintenance of the nervous system, as well as in immune responses.
