Gene: NXPH1

Alternate names for this Gene: NPH1|Nbla00697

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the neurexophilin family and encodes a secreted protein with a variable N-terminal domain, a highly conserved, N-glycosylated central domain, a short linker region, and a cysteine-rich C-terminal domain. This protein forms a very tight complex with alpha neurexins, a group of proteins that promote adhesion between dendrites and axons.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7p21.3

Description of this Gene: neurexophilin 1
