Summary: Enables calcium ion binding activity and cell adhesion molecule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including female mating behavior; melanotic encapsulation of foreign target; and nervous system development. Located in several cellular components, including filopodium; lateral plasma membrane; and pleated septate junction. Colocalizes with cytoneme. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; glial cell; hindgut; mushroom body; and synaptic neuropil subdomain. Used to study MASA syndrome and epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in MASA syndrome; hydrocephalus; ovarian carcinoma; pancreatic cancer; and schizophrenia. Orthologous to several human genes including CHL1 (cell adhesion molecule L1 like); NFASC (neurofascin); and NRCAM (neuronal cell adhesion molecule).

Neuroglian regulates Drosophila intestinal stem cell proliferation through enhanced signaling via the epidermal growth factor receptor.
Title: Neuroglian regulates Drosophila intestinal stem cell proliferation through enhanced signaling via the epidermal growth factor receptor.
Differential Neuroglian signaling in commissural pioneer interneurons not only prepatterns the olfactory contralateral tracts but also prevents the targeting of ingrowing sensory axons to their ipsilateral synaptic partners.
Title: Pioneer interneurons instruct bilaterality in the Drosophila olfactory sensory map.
In Drosophila, the L1CAM homolog Neuroglian (Nrg) is expressed as two isoforms. Epidermal Nrg167 encircles dendrites by interactions with dendritic Nrg180 to support dendrite growth, stabilization, and enclosure inside epidermis. Nrg180 forms homophilic interactions to facilitate axonal bundling.
Title: Epidermis-Derived L1CAM Homolog Neuroglian Mediates Dendrite Enclosure and Blocks Heteroneuronal Dendrite Bundling.
Dendrite pruning requires the developmentally regulated degradation of the cell adhesion molecule Neuroglian, and loss of Rab11 causes defects in the developmental degradation of Neuroglian and another target, the ion channel Ppk26.
Title: Rab11 is required for neurite pruning and developmental membrane protein degradation in Drosophila sensory neurons.
Prd1, alpha-Adaptin, and Unc-104 act in a common pathway to promote dendrite pruning by down-regulating Neuroglian protein.
Title: Prd1 associates with the clathrin adaptor α-Adaptin and the kinesin-3 Imac/Unc-104 to govern dendrite pruning in Drosophila.
An ankyrin-binding motif regulates nuclear levels of L1-type neuroglian and expression of the oncogene Myc in Drosophila neurons.
Title: An ankyrin-binding motif regulates nuclear levels of L1-type neuroglian and expression of the oncogene Myc in Drosophila neurons.
Neuroglian mediates adhesion between functionally distinct mushroom body axon populations to enforce and control appropriate projections into distinct axonal layers and lobes essential for olfactory learning and memory.
Title: L1CAM/Neuroglian controls the axon-axon interactions establishing layered and lobular mushroom body architecture.
Nrg plays a critical inhibitory role in dendrite pruning in dendritic arborization neurons.
Title: Endocytic pathways downregulate the L1-type cell adhesion molecule neuroglian to promote dendrite pruning in Drosophila.
Regulation of the interaction between Neuroglian and Ankyrin is an important novel module enabling local control of synaptic connectivity and function.
Title: Transsynaptic coordination of synaptic growth, function, and stability by the L1-type CAM Neuroglian.
Data describe the role of the L1-type CAM Neuroglian protein (NRG) in different steps of Drosophila mushroom body (MB) neuron axonogenesis.
Title: The Drosophila L1CAM homolog Neuroglian signals through distinct pathways to control different aspects of mushroom body axon development.
