Dynamic changes in neurexins' alternative splicing: role of Rho-associated protein kinases and relevance to memory formation.
The three neurexins genes (NRXN1/2/3) encode polymorphic synaptic membrane proteins that are involved in cognitive functioning. Neurexins' selectivity of function is presumably conferred through differential use of 2 promoters and 5 alternative splicing sites (SS#1/2/3/4/5). In day-old rat brai...
