Neuroligin (NLGN), a type I membrane protein, is a cell adhesion protein on the postsynaptic membrane that mediates the formation and maintenance of synapses...

notably neuroligin, while the intracellular cytoplasmic portion interacts with proteins associated with exocytosis. Neurexin and neuroligin "shake hands...

Neuroligin-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NLGN3 gene. This gene encodes a member of the neuroligin family of neuronal cell surface proteins...

Neuroligin-4, X-linked is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NLGN4X gene. In the human brain, the synaptic protein NLGN4 is primarily expressed...
