Summary: Enables ankyrin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including gastrulation; neuron development; and regulation of cell morphogenesis. Located in several cellular components, including lateral plasma membrane; neuron projection membrane; and neuronal cell body membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including germ line; gonad; hypodermis; nervous system; and pharynx. Used to study MASA syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Orthologous to several human genes including NFASC (neurofascin) and NRCAM (neuronal cell adhesion molecule). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Neuronal postdevelopmentally acting SAX-7S/L1CAM can function as cleaved fragments to maintain neuronal architecture in Caenorhabditis elegans.

Harmonization of L1CAM expression facilitates axon outgrowth and guidance of a motor neuron.
Title: Harmonization of L1CAM expression facilitates axon outgrowth and guidance of a motor neuron.
dendrite development in C elegans requires the adhesion protein SAX-7/L1CAM and the cytoplasmic protein GRDN-1/CCDC88C to anchor dendrite endings at the nose
Title: Dendrites with specialized glial attachments develop by retrograde extension using SAX-7 and GRDN-1.
loss of the cell adhesion molecule (CAM) CDH-4/Fat-like cadherin causes dendrites to be ordered randomly, despite remaining bundled. Loss of the CAMs PTP-3/LAR or SAX-7/L1CAM causes dendrites to adopt an altered order, which becomes increasingly random as animals grow.
Title: Ordered arrangement of dendrites within a C. elegans sensory nerve bundle.
EFF-1 control dendrite morphology by regulating the localization pattern of SAX-7 in epidermal cells
Title: Dynein and EFF-1 control dendrite morphology by regulating the localization pattern of SAX-7 in epidermal cells.
The ligand complex SAX-7/L1CAM and MNR-1 function at defined locations in the surrounding hypodermal tissue, whereas DMA-1 acts as the cognate receptor on the sensory neuron PVD. Mutations in this complex lead to dramatic defects in the formation, stabilization, and organization of the dendritic arbor.
Title: An extracellular adhesion molecule complex patterns dendritic branching and morphogenesis.
These findings suggest an unexpected interdependency of distinct Ig domain proteins, with one isoform of SAX-7, SAX-7L, inhibiting the function of the most adhesive isoform, SAX-7S, and this inhibition being relieved by ZIG-5 and ZIG-8.
Title: The secreted immunoglobulin domain proteins ZIG-5 and ZIG-8 cooperate with L1CAM/SAX-7 to maintain nervous system integrity.
sax-7 and hmr-1 function redundantly in blastomere compaction and non-muscle myosin accumulation during C. elegans gastrulation.

the 6 Ig/5 FnIII domain protein SAX-7 acts autonomously in the nervous system to maintain axon position in the ventral nerve cord of the nematode.
