Gene data
NLGN1- Name
- neuroligin 1
- Type
- protein-coding
- Aliases
- NL1, NLG1
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].

Neuroligin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NLGN1 gene.
This gene encodes a member of the neuroligin family of neuronal cell surface proteins. Neuroligin-1 acts as splice site-specific ligand for β-neurexins and has been shown to localize to the postsynaptic compartment at excitatory synapses and is involved in the formation and remodeling of central nervous system synapses.
