...James Reed; Christine McNamee; Stephen Rackstraw; John Jenkins; Diana Moss IgLONs are a family of four cell adhesion molecules belonging to the Ig superfamily that are thought to play a role in cell-cell recognition and growth-cone migration. One member of the family, opioid-binding cell-adhesion...

... therefore represent a relatively facile means for producing radical change in molecular function of Ig superfamily members during evolution. Previous structure-function studies on GPI-linked proteins have indicated that the signal required for GPI anchor addition (glypiation) resides completely in the C...

... the protein and obtained a number of peptide sequences most of which had homology to OBCAM. OBCAM is a GPI-linked molecule identified on the basis of binding opiates. It has a molecular mass of 58 kDa, is a member of the Ig superfamily of cell adhesion molecules based on sequence homology and has three C2...
