Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionnlg-1 encodes the sole C. elegans neuroligin homolog; nlg-1 activity is required for a subset of sensory behaviors and sensory processing, and for normal sensitivity to oxidative stress and mercury compounds; NLG-1 is expressed in a variety of neurons, including sensory, motor, and interneurons, and localizes to synaptic regions.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00031496

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable neurexin family protein binding activity and signaling receptor activity. Involved in gamma-aminobutyric acid receptor clustering and negative regulation of neurotransmitter secretion. Located in axon; dendrite; and synapse. Expressed in several structures, including body wall musculature; diagonal muscle; neurons; tail; and ventral nerve cord. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autistic disorder. Is an ortholog of human NLGN4Y (neuroligin 4 Y-linked).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMutations in mammalian neuroligins (orthlogous to elegans nlg-1) are involved in mental retardation and autism spectrum disorders (ASDs); neuroligins are post-synaptic cell adhesion molecules and function along with the pre-synaptic neurexins in synaptic maturation, stability and maintenance; nlg-1 mutants and knock-out worms exhibit phenotypes consistent with ASDs; nlg-1 mutants have sensory defects manifested as impaired chemotaxis, thermotaxis and osmotic avoidance, and are hyper-sensitive to toxic agents that cause oxidative stress, like paraquet, copper and mercury; rat Nlgn1 and human NLGN1 isoforms were able to rescue the wild-type phenotype in the worm.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00040040

Reference (71)
RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
