Abstract excerpt
Neurexins are synaptic adhesion proteins encoded by 3 genes (NRXN1, NRXN2, and NRXN3) each transcribed from 2 promoters to yield longer (alpha) and shorter (beta) forms. The primary gene transcripts undergo extensive alternative splicing leading to products that may differ in synaptic coupling properties. Here we show that depolarization of neurons modulates splicing of NRXN2alpha, particularly at splice sites 1...
