Brain development depends on axons migrating from one location to another by haptotaxis. L1-CAM is responsible for detecting laminin in the environment to regulate the haptotaxis. Scientists have discovered a new mechanism in which L1-CAM grips and slips on laminin to direct axon to its final destination. Loss of this mechanism corresponded with mutations in the L1-CAM protein of CRASH syndrome patients.
