Product details:
Three isoforms of neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) are produced by differential splicing of the RNA transcript from a single gene. The 135 kDa isoform is the basic molecule, which is glycosylated or sialylated to produce the mature species. ab200698 recognizes two proteins of the NCAM, the basic molecule expressed on most neuroectodermally derived tissues and neoplasms (e.g. retinoblastoma, medulloblastomas, astrocytomas, neuroblastomas, and small cell carcinomas). It is also expressed on some mesodermally derived tumors (rhabdomyosarcoma). ab200698 ;plays an important role in the diagnosis of nodal and nasal NK/T-cell lymphomas.
What is an oligoclonal antibody?
This oligoclonal antibody is a cocktail of monoclonal antibodies that have been carefully selected. Oligoclonal antibodies have not only the specificity and batch-to-batch consistency of a monoclonal antibody, but also have the advantage of the sensitivity of a polyclonal antibody due to their ability to recognize multiple epitopes on an antigen.

NCAM1 also known as Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule 1 or CD56 is an important cell surface glycoprotein that plays a role in cell-cell adhesion. It has a molecular mass of approximately 120-140 kDa. NCAM1 is widely expressed in various tissues including the nervous system skeletal muscle and certain hematopoietic cells. In flow cytometry and immunohistochemistry NCAM1's expression is extensively studied to track and analyze cell populations using techniques like NCAM1 ELISA for quantification.
Biological function summary
NCAM1 influences neuronal growth survival and synaptic plasticity. This protein is part of the immunoglobulin superfamily and contributes to dynamic interactions during development. NCAM1 exists on cell membranes assisting in the formation and maintenance of tissue structures. In particular cell adhesion molecule CAL53 interacts with NCAM1 highlighting its involvement in synaptic connections. Additionally NCAM1 impacts cellular migration and differentiation particularly in myogenic processes involving MY31's pathway.
Pathways
The NCAM1 protein participates in the MAPK signaling pathway and the PI3K/AKT pathway both essential in cellular growth and survival. NCAM1 acts alongside ERIC1 aiding in the transduction of signals that regulate cytoskeletal rearrangement. These pathways influence cellular communication and responses to external stimuli further enhancing tissue development and regeneration mechanisms.
NCAM1 is associated with neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease and certain types of cancer including neuroblastoma. Changes in NCAM1 expression or function can disrupt normal cell adhesion and signaling leading to pathological states. The protein's interaction with cell surface markers such as CD56 mouse marker helps in the diagnosis and therapy of these disorders providing potential therapeutic targets or biomarkers for clinical applications.
