ABSTRACT

The E587 antigen (Ag) is a 200‐Kd membrane glycoprotein originally identified by a monoclonal antibody on new and regenerating retinal ganglion cell axons in the adult goldfish. We report the isolation of cDNAs encoding the E587 Ag and identify it as a member of the L1 family of cell adhesion molecules (CAMs). The predicted amino acid sequence of E587 Ag shows an approximately equal identity (40%) to mouse L1, chick neuron‐glia CAM, and chick neuron‐glia‐related CAM. Although the overall similarity is low, there is a high conservation of structural domains and specific sequence motifs.
