Crystal Structure of human Neuroligin 3be8

Template:STRUCTURE 3b3q

Neuroligins (NLGN) are a family of postsynaptic proteins which bind to the presynaptic Neurexin (NRXN) to form a complex which attaches neurons. The NLGN family contains 4 members which are numbered 1 to 4.

For Structural Analysis of Neuroligin, See: Neuroligin-Neurexin Interaction
