Function
Postsynaptic adhesion molecule that binds to presynaptic neurexins to mediate synapse formation, and which is involved in learning and memory (By similarity). Promotes synapse development by acting as a cell adhesion molecule at the postsynaptic membrane, which associates with neurexin-alpha at the presynaptic membrane (By similarity).
