    motifs/domains
  • N-terminal signal sequence
  • three Ig-like domains
  • six cysteines that likely form intradomain disulfide bonds
  • a C-terminal GPI attachment site
  • conjugated GlycoP
    HOMOLOGY
    interspecies homolog to murine Ntm
    Homologene
    FAMILY
  • immunoglobulin C-2 type family
  • plasticity-associated IgLON family neural adhesion molecules
  • IgLON (LAMP, OBCAM, Ntm) family of immunoglobulin (Ig) domain-containing glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored cell adhesion molecules
  • CATEGORY adhesion , immunity/defense

    basic FUNCTION
  • may be promoting neurite outgrowth and adhesion via a homophilic mechanism
  • LSAMP and NTM promote adhesion and neurite outgrowth via a homophilic mechanism, suggesting that these proteins promote the formation of specific neuronal circuits by homophilic interactions
  • IgLON cell adhesion molecules (CAMs) participate in regulating synapse formation in hippocampal neurons
  • role for all IgLON family members in promoting neurite extension from cortical neurons
  • NTM exerts an inhibitory impact on neurite outgrowth
  • NTM is linked to intelligence and cognitive function

    small molecule
    protein
  • role for neurotrimin in mediating estrogen-induced sympathetic pruning in some peripheral targets
  • interplay between LSAMP and NTM in regulating tissue homeostasis: the impact of NTM on cellular proliferation was dependent on LSAMP, and LSAMP appeared to be a positive regulator of apoptosis in the presence of NTM
  • IgLONs maintain an extended conformation and that their dimerization occurs through the first Ig domain of each monomer and is Ca2+ independent
