NCAM1 Molecular Targets Overview

CD56, also known as Neural Cell Adhesion molecule (NCAM), Leu-19, or NKH1, is a transmembrane glycoprotein with a molecular weight of 140 kD. CD56 is expressed in neurons and plays a role in the homogeneous adhesion of neuronal cells. In the hematopoietic system, it is expressed in NK and NKT cells and plays a role in cell adhesion.
