[英文释义] Cell adhesion molecule involved in a diverse range of contact-mediated interactions among neurons,astrocytes,oligodendrocytes,and myotubes. It is widely but transiently expressed in many tissues early in embryogenesis. Four main isoforms exist,including CD56; (ANTIGENS,CD56); but there are many other variants resulting from alternative splicing and post-translational modifications. (From Pigott & Power,The Adhesion Molecule FactsBook,1993,pp115-119)
