About Nlgn4l

Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including chloride ion binding activity; neurexin family protein binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including brainstem development; male courtship behavior; and territorial aggressive behavior. Acts upstream of or within social behavior. Located in glycinergic synapse and plasma membrane. Is integral component of postsynaptic specialization membrane. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Asperger syndrome and autistic disorder. Orthologous to human NLGN4X (neuroligin 4 X-linked) and NLGN4Y (neuroligin 4 Y-linked).
