Neural Cell Adhesion Molecule and its Polysialic Acid Moiety Exhibit Opposing and Linked Effects on Neuropathic Hyperalgesia

Spinal lamina II, where nociceptive C-fibers terminate, expresses high amounts of the polysialylated form of neural cell adhesion molecule (PSA-NCAM). While enzymatic removal of the PSA moiety from NCAM did not affect normal sensitivity to thermal stimuli, it exacerbated nerve injury-induced neuropa...
