    Background

    Neuroligins are a family of single-pass transmembrane cell adhesion proteins expressed predominantly in the brain. They serve as binding partners for neurexins, another family of synaptic cell adhesion molecules, forming trans-synaptic complexes that play central roles in organizing both excitatory glutamatergic and inhibitory GABAergic synapses (1). Neuroligins expressed on non-neuronal cells can induce synaptic vesicle clustering and presynaptic maturation at points of contact with neuronal axons, while exogenously presented neurexins can trigger postsynaptic differentiation on neuronal dendrites, suggesting neuroligin/neurexin interactions coordinate synaptic maturation at both presynaptic and postsynaptic sites (1-2).

    Multiple neuroligin and neurexin isoforms are encoded in the human and mouse genomes. Alternative splicing further diversifies these families, generating numerous isoforms that differ in developmental expression, synaptic localization, and functional specificity. For example, neuroligin-1 is enriched at glutamatergic synapses, neuroligin-2 at GABAergic synapses, and neuroligin-3 at both (3). Interestingly, neuroligin-4 localizes to glutamatergic synapses in humans but to glycinergic synapses in mice, indicating species-specific functional divergence (4). Additionally, neuroligins are also expressed in glial cells, suggesting potential roles in non-neuronal signaling and synaptic support (5). Mutations or dysregulation of neuroligin genes have been genetically linked to several neurodevelopmental and neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorders, likely due to disruptions in synaptic structure and excitatory/inhibitory balance (3).
