Background Information
Neural cell adhesion molecule 1 (NCAM1, also known as CD56) is a cell adhesion glycoprotein of the immunoglobulin (Ig) superfamily. It is a multifunction protein involved in synaptic plasticity, neurodevelopment, and neurogenesis. NCAM1 is expressed on human neurons, glial cells, skeletal muscle cells, NK cells and a subset of T cells, and the expression is observed in a wide variety of human tumors, including myeloma, myeloid leukemia, neuroendocrine tumors, Wilms' tumor, neuroblastoma, and NK/T cell lymphomas. Three major isoforms of NCAM1, with molecular masses of 120, 140, and 180 kDa, are generated by alternative splicing of mRNA (PMID: 9696812). The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored NCAM120 and the transmembrane NCAM140 and NCAM180 consist of five Ig-like domains and two fibronection-type III repeats (FNIII). All three forms can be posttranslationally modified by addition of polysialic acid (PSA) (PMID: 14976519). Several other isofroms have also been described (PMID: 1856291).

Reviews
What customers say
All three reviews are 5-star. Users report excellent performance across applications: immunofluorescence on mouse nerve tissue (1:10,000) showed staining consistent with published patterns; IF on FFPE prostate tissue (1:1000) worked well with Tris-EDTA retrieval; and Western blot/immunoprecipitation on postmortem human cortex (1:5,000) yielded clean results. Overall, reviewers consistently describe the antibody as reliable, specific, and easy to use across multiple tissue types and techniques.
The reviews below have been submitted by verified Proteintech customers who received an incentive for providing their feedback.
Kenzo (Verified Customer) (01-09-2023) | Worked great. The staining pattern was consistent with what has been reported.

Toni (Verified Customer) (02-28-2019) | IP conditions:1ug of rbt anti-NCAM1 was added to 100ug human cortex homogenate (0.5ug/ul) in Tris-sucrose buffer with 1% SDS and 1% Triton X100 thenincubated rotating ON at 4C. Sample was then added to 50ul TBST-washed sheep anti-rabbit magnetic beads and incubated rotating 3hr at 4C. Following 4 TBST washes, bound proteins were eluted with 30ul of elution buffer containing SDS and BME. WB conditions:Samples subjected to SDS-PAGE on 4-12% Bis-Tris gels followed by semi-dry transfer to nitrocellulose membranes using standard conditions. Membranes were blocked for 1hr at RT in 50% LiCor Odyssey blocking buffer (TBS) then probed with either 1:5000 (v/v) rabbit anti-NCAM1 (Proteintech) or 1:1000 (v/v) goat anti-NCAM1 (R&D Systems) in 50% LiCor Odyssey blocking buffer (TBS + 0.05% Tween-20) ON at 4C. Following TBS+ 0.1% Tween-20 washes, membranes were incubated with the appropriate IR-dye labeled secondary antibody for 1hr at RT, TBST washed, then scanned.*you have my permission to edit the comments above and crop, but not alter, the image provided if you wish to remove reference to an antibody from another company.
