Background
This gene encodes a member of a family of neuronal cell surface proteins. Members of this family may act as splice site-specific ligands for beta-neurexins and may be involved in the formation and remodeling of central nervous system synapses. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
function:Neuronal cell surface protein thought to be involved in cell-cell-interactions by forming intercellular junctions through binding to beta-neurexins. Seems to play role in formation or maintenance of synaptic junctions. In vitro, triggers the de novo formation of presynaptic structures.,similarity:Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.,subunit:Interacts with neurexin 1-beta, neurexin 2-beta and neurexin 3-beta. Interacts with INADL (By similarity). Probably interacts through its C-terminus with DLG4 third PDZ domain.,
