Summary: Predicted to enable neurexin family protein binding activity and signaling receptor activity. Involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor clustering and negative regulation of neurotransmitter secretion. Located in axon; dendrite; and synapse. Is expressed in body wall musculature; diagonal muscle; head; nervous system; and tail. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Orthologous to several human genes including NLGN4Y (neuroligin 4 Y-linked). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

The Ig-like domain of Punctin/MADD-4 is the primary determinant for interaction with the ectodomain of neuroligin NLG-1.
Title: The Ig-like domain of Punctin/MADD-4 is the primary determinant for interaction with the ectodomain of neuroligin NLG-1.
The authors show that a C elegans mutant in the single gene orthologous to human neuroligins, nlg-1, is defective in food-induced pumping. This was not due to an inability to sense food, as nlg-1 mutants were not defective in chemotaxis towards bacteria. In addition, we found that neuroligin is widely expressed in the nervous system.
Title: Neuroligin tuning of pharyngeal pumping reveals extrapharyngeal modulation of feeding in Caenorhabditis elegans.
Loss of nlg-1 suppresses the hpo-30 mutant phenotype.NLG-1 functions downstream of HPO-30 to maintain the LAChR-dependent functions at the neuromuscular junction.Elevated NLG-1 levels result in decreased LAChRs at the NMJ.
Title: The Claudin-like Protein HPO-30 Is Required to Maintain LAChRs at the C. elegans Neuromuscular Junction.
Neuroligin mutants are defective in a subset of sensory behaviors and sensory processing, and are hypersensitive to oxidative stress and mercury compounds.[Neuroligin-1]
Title: Neuroligin-deficient mutants of C. elegans have sensory processing deficits and are hypersensitive to oxidative stress and mercury toxicity.
The results highlight a developmental regulation of C. elegans nlg-1 that could play a key role in the assembly of synaptic protein complexes during the early stages of nervous system development.
Title: Analysis of splice variants for the C. elegans orthologue of human neuroligin reveals a developmentally regulated transcript.
Neuroligin is involved in modulating the action of dopamine and serotonin in the nematode and suggest that the functional mechanism underpinning both methylphenidate and fluoxetine in C. elegans might be comparable to that in humans.
Title: Neuroligin modulates the locomotory dopaminergic and serotonergic neuronal pathways of C. elegans.
our results suggest that SKN-1 activation in the nervous system can confer protection to organisms in response to stress by directly regulating nlg-1/neuroligin expression.
Title: Regulation of synaptic nlg-1/neuroligin abundance by the skn-1/Nrf stress response pathway protects against oxidative stress.
study found neurexin (NRX-1) and neuroligin (NLG-1) mediated a retrograde synaptic signal that inhibited neurotransmitter release at neuromuscular junctions
Title: Neurexin and neuroligin mediate retrograde synaptic inhibition in C. elegans.
