Neuronal cell adhesion molecule (NRCAM)

Cell adhesion protein that's required for normal responses to cell-cell contacts in brain and in the peripheral nervous system. Plays a role in neurite outgrowth in response to contactin binding.

Plays a role in mediating cell-cell connections between Schwann cells and axons. Plays a role in the creation and maintenance of the nodes of Ranvier on myelinated axons.
