NLGN2 - neuroligin 2 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About NLGN2
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 237 orthologues and 13 paralogues. Broad expression in brain (RPKM 29.8), endometrium (RPKM 15.7) and 20 other tissues.
Summary
This gene encodes a member of a family of neuronal cell surface proteins. Members of this family may act as splice site-specific ligands for beta-neurexins and may be involved in the formation and remodeling of central nervous system synapses. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
