摘要
神经细胞粘附分子是一类调节细胞与细胞、细胞与细胞外基质间粘附作用的膜表面糖蛋白,主要有NCAM-180、NCAM-140、NCAM-120三种形式,多与PSA结合在一起。在神经系统中,NCAM的表达具有时间和空间特异性,最主要的作用为调节神经系统的可塑性,这种作用可能是通过PSA-NCAM对AMPA的调节作用,主要是通过调节蛋白激酶的表达和细胞内Ca2+浓度来实现的。
Neural cell adhesion molecules(NCAMs) are cell surface glycoproteins that appear to mediate cell-cell,cell-extracellular matrix adhesion. NCAMs, largely attached with polysialic acid(PSA), exist in three majordifferent polypeptide forms with apparent molecular weight 180, 140, 120kD. In nervous system, NCAM isexpressed in a defined temporal and spatial pattern. PSA-NCAM plays an important role in the formation of neuralplasticity by regulating AMPA receptor formation, mainly by regulating the expression of the protein kinase andthe intracellular Ca2+ level.
