Neuroligin 3
NL3, NLGN3, neuroligin 3
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. Mutations in this gene may be associated with autism and Asperger syndrome. Multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene.

GeneRIF
Göttingen, Germany. In Biochem J, 2012
Data from studies using cross-linking reagents suggest that neuroligins form dimers, including homodimers and, most notably, neuroligin 1/3 heteromers; autism-associated neuroligin mutant (neuroligin 3 R471C) forms heterodimers with neuroligin 1.

GeneRIF
Stanford, United States. In J Cell Biol, 2011
The NL-3 acts redundantly to maintain excitatory synapses and that synapse elimination caused by the absence of NL-3 is promoted by synaptic activity and mediated by a postsynaptic Ca(2+)/CaM-dependent signaling pathway.
