Modulation of the neural cell adhesion molecule by the attachment of polysialic acid
residues through the polysialyl-transferase, ST8SiaIV, regulates neuronal plasticity and …

Among the large set of cell surface glycan structures, the carbohydrate polymer polysialic
acid (polySia) plays an important role in vertebrate brain development and synaptic …

Polysialic acid, a homopolymer of α2, 8-linked sialic acid expressed on the neural cell
adhesion molecule (NCAM), is thought to play critical roles in neural development. Two …

We have reported recently that ST8Sia II/STX as well as ST8Sia IV/PST-1 is a neural cell
adhesion molecule (NCAM)-specific polysialic acid (PSA) synthase (Kojima, N., Tachida, Y …

Expression of polysialic acid (polySia) in the adult brain is enriched in areas of continuous
neurogenesis and plasticity such as the hippocampus. Genome-wide association studies …

Polysialic acid (PSA) is a developmentally regulated carbohydrate attached to the neural
cell adhesion molecule (NCAM). PSA is involved in dynamic processes like cell migration …

Polysialic acid is a unique cell surface polysaccharide found in the capsule of neuroinvasive
bacteria and as a highly regulated post-translational modification of the neural cell adhesion …

Dysregulated cortical expression of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) and deficits
of its associated polysialic acid (polySia) have been found in Alzheimer's disease and …

The modification of the neural cell adhesion molecule (NCAM) with polysialic acid plays a
pivotal role in the developing nervous system. Here we studied the expression and function …

Polysialic acid (polySia), an α-2, 8-glycosidically linked polymer of sialic acid, is a
