Structural organization of NCAM1.
The fi ve loop - shaped, immunoglobulin - like C2 -
type domains (1-5 in circles) that are formed
by intramolecular disulfi de bonds (S-S) are
indicated. The two gray boxes represent the
complex, hybrid and high-mannose types (not
indicated). The complex-type
N
- glycans can be
bi-, tri- and tetraantennary. Two
N
- glycans of
the immunoglobulin-like domain 5 carry the
characteristic homopolymers of
α
