Function

Neuroligins (NLGN) are a family of postsynaptic proteins which bind to the presynaptic Neurexin (NRXN) to form a complex which attaches neurons. In humans the NLGN family contains 4 to 5 members that are numbered 1, 2, 3, 4X and 5 or 4Y[1].

See Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Neuroligin-Neurexin Interaction

  • NLGN-1 regulates spines and synaptic plasticity[2].
  • NLGN-2 is localized to inhibitory synapses[3].
  • NLGN-4 is localized to glyceric post-synapses and regulates retina inhibition[4].

Disease

Mutations in NLGN 4 are associated with autism and mental retardation[5].
