Abstract excerpt
Neurexin-1 (NRXN1) is a membrane protein essential in synapse formation and cell signaling as a cell-adhesion molecule and cell-surface receptor. NRXN1 and its binding partner neuroligin have been associated with deficits in cognition. Recent genetics research has linked NRXN1 missense mutations to increased risk for brain disorders, including schizophrenia (SCZ) and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Investigation...
