Neuroligin 4 Recombinant Protein

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 beta -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.

Lyophilized from a 0.2 um filtered solution of 20mM PB,150mM NaCl, pH7.4. It is not recommended to reconstitute to a concentration less than 100 ug/ml. Dissolve the lyophilized protein in ddH2O.
