NRXN1

Neurexin-1-alpha is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the NRXN1 is_associated_with::gene.

Genomics
The gene is found in a single copy on the short arm of chromosome 2 (2p16.3). The gene is 1,112,187 bases in length, is located on the Crick (minus) strand and encodes a protein of 1,477 amino acids (molecular weight 161.883 kDa).

Mutation of this gene that interrupt its expression have been associated with is_associated_with::Schizophrenia, is_associated_with::autism, and intellectual disability (NRXN1 mutations and brain disorders).

Interactions
NRXN1 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::NLGN1.
