Preparation and Storage

Background: DSCAM

Human DSCAM is a member of the Ig superfamily that maps to a region in chromosome 21 associated with Down Syndrome mental retardation. It encodes a 230 kDa type I membrane protein with a large extracellular domain comprising ten C2 type Ig like domains and six fibronectin type III repeats. The intracellular domain of human DSCAM does not share significant sequence homology with Drosophila DSCAM. Human DSCAM is expressed in axonal and dendritic processes of the central and peripheral nervous system. It is involved in hemophilia interactions and has been implicated in neurogenesis. By alternative splicing, a soluble form of human DSCAM that is identical to the transmembrane form through residue 1571 has been described. The extracellular domain of human and mouse DSCAM share 98% amino acid sequence homology.
