Spatiotemporal expression of IgLON family members in the developing mouse nervous system

Abstract Differential expression of cell adhesion molecules in neuronal populations is one of the many mechanisms promoting the formation of functional neural circuits in the developing nervous system. The IgLON family consists of five cell surface immunoglobulin proteins that have been associated w...
