[liver cell adhesion molecule] This cell adhesion molecule has been isolated on the basis of its ability to mediate calcium-
dependent adhesion between cells of the chicken liver epithelium (Bertolotti et al, 1980; Gallin et al, 1983). The protein is expressed in a distinct pattern at a variety of inductive embryonic sites as well as in adult tissues (Thiery et al, 1984). The cDNA has been cloned by Gallin et al (1987) who stated that the biochemical properties and tissue distributions of L-CAM are so similar to those of other calcium-dependent adhesion molecules such as uvomorulin, E-cadherin, CAM 120/80, and Arc-1 isolated from different epithelial tissues or
