Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables several functions, including calcium channel regulator activity; cell adhesion molecule binding activity; and neuroligin family protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including postsynapse organization; presynaptic modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; 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 and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including blood vessel; nervous system; and retina. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human NRXN2 (neurexin 2).
