Abstract: Neural cell adhesion molecule l(NCAM1) is a calcium independent intercellular adhesion molecule, which can mediate the interaction of celltocell and celltomatrix. Moreover, it plays an important role in the development of nervous system, the regulation of immune cell function, the recognition and metastasis of cells, and the invasion and growth of tumor. In recent years, studies have shown that NCAM1 may have being involved in the pathogenesis and cancerization of oral lichen planus(OLP).This article will review the research progress on NCAM1 in the following aspects:the structure, function, and regulation of NCAM1, the abnormal expression of NCAM1 in OLP, the possible role of NCAM1 in the occurrence and development of OLP, and NCAM1 and cancerization of OLP.

Key words: neural cell adhesion molecule 1, oral lichen planus, psychological factors, immune factors
