Errors in corticospinal axon guidance in mice lacking the neural cell adhesion molecule L1.
BACKGROUND: Neural cell adhesion molecules of the immunoglobulin superfamily (IgCAMs) have been implicated in both the fasciculation and guidance of axons, but direct genetic evidence of a role for neural IgCAMs in axon guidance in vertebrates is lacking. The L1 subfamily of vertebrate neural IgCAMs...
