Neuroligin1: a cell adhesion molecule that recruits PSD-95 and NMDA receptors by distinct mechanisms during synaptogenesis

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The cell adhesion molecule pair neuroligin1 (Nlg1) and β-neurexin (β-NRX) is a powerful inducer of postsynaptic differentiation of glutamatergic synapses <it>in vitro</it>. Because Nlg1 induces accumulation of two essenti...
