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  |
|
cell adhesion molecule, that is critical for the formation and consolidation of synaptic connectivity and is involved in vascular development  |
|
NLGN1 and NLGN2 having a role in memory consolidation and strengthening  |
|
postsynaptic adhesion molecule involved in the regulation of glutamatergic transmission  |
|
differences in the properties of the synaptogenic activities of NLGN1 and LRRTM2, although both transsynaptically interact with presynaptic neurexins  |
