Calpain and calpastatin expression in primary oligodendrocyte culture: preferential localization of membrane calpain in cell processes.

abstract：:The neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) plays a key role in neural development, regeneration, and synaptic plasticity. The crystal structure of a fragment of NCAM comprising the three N-terminal immunoglobulin (Ig)-like modules indicates that the first and second Ig modules bind to each other, thereby presumably medi...
