Podocalyxin is a novel polysialylated neural adhesion protein with multiple roles in neural development and synapse formation.

Podocalyxin is a novel polysialylated neural adhesion protein with multiple roles in neural development and synapse formation.

Neural development and plasticity are regulated by neural adhesion proteins, including the polysialylated form of NCAM (PSA-NCAM). Podocalyxin (PC) is a renal PSA-containing protein that has been reported to function as an anti-adhesin in kidney podocytes. Here we show that PC is widely expressed in...
