Neuroglian (abbr. Ngl), encoded by Drosophila melanogaster gene CG1634, is known also as Nrg180 or by its alleles ceb [central brain deranged] or ibx [icebox] (for overview and references see: Carhan et al, 2005). The encoded protein is considered the ortholog of vertebrate L1CAM (Bieber et al, 1989).
The protein has been shown to mediate adhesion between functionally distinct neurons in the mushroom body (see: Kenyon cells), a higher-order center in the insect brain, to contributes to axon guidance of peripheral neurons
