Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including calcium channel regulator activity; cell adhesion molecule binding activity; and neuroligin family protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; postsynapse organization; and regulation of postsynapse assembly. Predicted to be located in cell projection; plasma membrane; and presynapse. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic active zone membrane. Orthologous to human NRXN2 (neurexin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
