[[Neurexin|Neurexins]] (NRXN) are a family of presynaptic proteins which bind to the postsynaptic [[Neuroligin]] (NLGN) to form a complex which attaches neurons. The NRXN family contains 4 members which are numbered 1 to 4<ref>PMID:12796785</ref>. The NRXN-α contains 6 homologous LNS domains while the NRXN-β contains only LNS6. | [[Neurexin|Neurexins]] (NRXN) are a family of presynaptic proteins which bind to the postsynaptic [[Neuroligin]] (NLGN) to form a complex which attaches neurons.
