NXPE3

This gene encodes a member of the neurexophilin family of neuropeptide-like glycoproteins. The encoded protein contains a variable N-terminal domain, a highly conserved neurexophilin and PC-esterase (NXPE) central domain, a short linker region, and a cysteine-rich C-terminal domain. This protein binds alpha neurexins, a group of presynaptic transmembrane receptors that promote adhesion between dendrites and axons. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human NXPE3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
