CHL1

CHL1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CHL1 gene. It is a member of the L1 family of neural cell adhesion molecules and is involved in signal transduction pathways. CHL1 is implicated in development of the nervous system and it is postulated that it may help guide neural migration during development.

Function

CHL1 is a cell adhesion molecule closely related to L1 and NrCAM and is a member of the L1 gene family. It is involved in the development of the nervous system and it is postulated that it may help guide neural migration during development. CHL1 is also involved in signal transduction pathways and it is implicated in the development of the nervous system.

Clinical significance

Mutations in the CHL1 gene have been associated with mental retardation, autism, and schizophrenia. It has also been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders.
