Neurexophilin 3 is highly localized in cortical and cerebellar regions and is functionally important for sensorimotor gating and motor coordination.

Abstract excerpt

Neurexophilin 3 (Nxph3) is a specific ligand of synaptic alpha-neurexins that are essential for efficient neurotransmitter release. Previous biochemical work demonstrated that Nxph3 interacts with an extracellular domain of alpha-neurexins in a tight complex; however, no information is available on the localization or functional role of Nxph3 in the brain. Here, we generated lacZ reporter gene knock-in mice to...
