Down syndrome cell adhesion molecule (Dscam) is an immunoglobulin superfamily member in insects that may opsonize bacteria for phagocytosis and can exist in multiple forms due to alternative splicing.
A member of the immunoglobulin superfamily that in insects is thought to opsonize invading bacteria and aid their engulfment by phagocytes. It can be made in a multiplicity of different forms as a result of alternative splicing
