Summary: Enables several functions, including calcium channel regulator activity; cell adhesion molecule binding activity; and neuroligin family protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; postsynapse organization; and regulation of postsynapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within neurotransmitter secretion and synapse assembly. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel; nervous system; and retina. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human NRXN2 (neurexin 2).

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.
