Deorphanizing FAM19A proteins as pan-neurexin ligands with an unusual biosynthetic binding mechanism

Neurexins are presynaptic adhesion molecules that organize synapses by binding to diverse trans-synaptic ligands, but how neurexins are regulated is incompletely understood. Here we identify FAM19A/TAFA proteins, “orphan" cytokines, as neurexin regulators that interact with all neurexins, excep...
