Summary: Enables cell adhesion molecule binding activity; neurexin family protein binding activity; and signaling receptor activity. Involved in several processes, including inhibitory postsynaptic potential; neuron cell-cell adhesion; and synapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within synapse organization. Located in several cellular components, including excitatory synapse; inhibitory synapse; and postsynaptic membrane. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic specialization membrane. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Biomarker of sciatic neuropathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to human NLGN3 (neuroligin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
