"NCAM1 has been demonstrated to possess (Ca++ or Mg++) dependant ATP hydrolyzing activity. ATP can bind to NCAM directly and that NCAM can act as an ecto-ATPase hydrolyzing around 1000 molecules of ATP/minute. Binding of ATP to NCAM1 inhibits cellular aggregation and neurite outgrowth induced by NCAM1-FGFR binding. The NCAM binding site to ATP overlaps with the site of NCAM-FGFR interaction, and ATP is capable of disrupting NCAM-FGFR binding."^^ . . . . . . . "NCAM1 binds to ATP"^^ . . . . . .
