| basic FUNCTION
| mediating cell to cell interactions between neurons |
|
triggering presynaptic development in contacting axon |
|
induces apparent synapse formation by binding to presynaptic alpha-neurexins  |
|
essential role for presynaptic terminal maturation |
|
also involved in critically controls key steps of presynaptic bouton maturation |
|
performs diverse synaptic functions by mechanisms that include as essential components of alpha-neurexin binding and neuroligin dimerization, but extend beyond these activities |
|
with CDH2, cooperate to control vesicle clustering at nascent synapses |
|
postsynaptic adhesion protein that control the maturation and function of synapses in the central nervous system (CNS) |
|
NLGN1 and NLGN2 are essential for excitatory and inhibitory synaptic functions |
|
postsynaptic cell-adhesion protein specific for excitatory synapses, which shares a high degree of similarity with acetylcholinesterase |
|
acts as a nucleating factor during the APP aggregation process, stimulating the formation of APP oligomers |
