[[Neuroligin|Neuroligins]] (NLGN) are a family of postsynaptic proteins which bind to the presynaptic [[Neurexin]] (NRXN) to form a complex which attaches neurons. The NLGN family contains 4 members which are numbered 1 to 4. The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative NLGN, ''i.e.'' the crystal structure of human Neuroligin ([[3be8]]). | [[Neuroligin|Neuroligins]] (NLGN) are a family of postsynaptic proteins which bind to the presynaptic [[Neurexin]] (NRXN) to form a complex which attaches neurons.
