Nrx-1 transcripts are enriched in brain and ventral nerve cord neurons starting at embryonic stage 14 and are absent from muscle. They are also detected in small subsets of peripheral nervous system neurons.
Nrx-1 protein is observed in the brain and ventral nerve cord starting at embryonic stage 14 and in third instar larvae. It is localized in the CNS neuropil and axonal tracts and motor axons. It is found in type I boutons of the larval body wall muscles. Nrx-1 protein is concentrated at active zones in neuromuscular junctions but also extends into periactive zones.

Please Note This section lists cDNAs and ESTs that fall within the genomic extent of the gene model, which may include cDNAs and ESTs of genes within introns, or of overlapping genes. Please see GBrowse for alignment of the cDNAs and ESTs to the gene model.
For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.

Loss of Nrx-1 leads to defects in rhodopsin maturation, as a consequence of a reduction in chromophore levels. Neurexin interacts with apolipoprotein I (ApoLI) and is required for the appropriate level of ApoLI and ApoLII proteins.
