    Complementary DNA for the human neural cell adhesion molecule L1 was cloned and sequenced: the deduced amino acid sequence consists of 1257 amino acid residues containing six repeats of the immunoglobulin C2 domain and five repeats of the fibronectin type III domain. The intracellular domain of human L1 is highly conserved as compared to mouse, but not identical to L1 cloned from human melanoma cells, suggesting the existence of alternative forms in the same species.
