“…PSA modulates cell-cell interactions through its attachment to NCAM by reducing homo-and heterophilic NCAM adhesive activities (Cunningham, Hoffman, Rutishauser, Hemperly, & Edelman, 1983;Johnson, Fujimoto, Rutishauser, & Leckband, 2005;Rutishauser, 1998;Sadoul, Hirn, Deagostini-Bazin, Rougon, & Goridis, 1983). PSA-NCAM is highly expressed during brain development and its levels gradually decrease during the early post-natal period (Angata & Fukuda, 2003;Rutishauser, 2008).…”
