Formation, differentiation and plasticity of synapses, the specialized cell-cell contacts through which neurons communicate, all require interactions between pre- and post-synaptic partners. Several synaptically localized adhesion molecules potentially capable of mediating these interactions have been identified. Functional studies suggest roles for some of them in target recognition (e.g. SYG-1 and sidekicks), formation and alignment of synaptic specializations (e.g. SynCAM, [[neuroligin]] and neurexin), and regulation of synaptic structure and function (e.g. [[cadherin]]s and [[syndecan]]) ((Yamagata M, Sanes JR, Weiner JA.
