Santiago Multidisciplinaria (Ciencias Naturales y Exactas) Glycolipid acetyl GD3 Ganglioside Development Neurite outgrowth Migration of neurons from their site of origin to their final destination is a critical and universal step in theformation of the complex structure of the nervous system. The migratory process is thought to be governed inpart by genetically and epigenetically defined sequences of signals which are interpreted by migrating cells.The molecular mechanisms that underlie neuronal migration have been the subject of intense investigation. Asin other developmental processes, many molecules must participate in neuronal migration. Some molecules,such as cell adhesion molecules and motor proteins, may contribute to discrete steps in the migration act;others, like extracellular signaling molecules, may regulate the activation and/or termination of the migrationprogram.
