CHL1

Neural cell adhesion molecule L1-like protein also known as close homolog of L1 (CHL1) is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the CHL1 is_associated_with::gene.

CHL1 is a is_associated_with::cell adhesion molecule closely related to the L1. In melanocytic cells CHL1 gene expression may be regulated by MITF, and can act as a is_associated_with::helicase protein during the is_associated_with::interphase stage of is_associated_with::mitosis.

The protein however has dynamic localisation, meaning that it has not only multiple roles in the cell, but also various locations.
