The three-dimensional structure of the first domain of neural cell adhesion molecule

Nature Structural Biology volume 3, pages 581–585 (1996)Cite this article

The structure of the N-terminal Ig-superfamily (IgSF) domain of NCAM has a high similarity with the intermediate set of Ig-like domains: the first domain of the vascular cell adhesion molecule (VCAM-1), the M5 domain in titin, and telokin.
