Recombinant Human NLGN4X Protein (His Tag)

Neuroligin 4, X-Linked (NLGN4X) is a single-pass type I membrane protein that belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family. NLGN4X is detected at higher levels in heart and at lower levels in the liver, skeletal muscle, and pancreas. NLGN4X is a putative neuronal cell surface protein involved in cell-cell-interactions. NLGN4X may act as splice site-specific ligands for β-neurexins. It has been shown that NLGN4X is involved in the formation and remodeling of central nervous system synapses. NLGN4X also interacts with discs, large (Drosophila) homolog 4 (DLG4) . Defects in NLGN4X have been associated with autism and Asperger syndrome.

Generally, lyophilized proteins are stable for up to 12 months when stored at -20 to -80°C. Reconstituted protein solution can be stored at 4-8°C for 2-7 days. Aliquots of reconstituted samples are stable at < -20°C for 3 months.
