Summary: Enables cell adhesion molecule binding activity. Involved in actin filament bundle assembly; cell-cell signaling; and nervous system development. Located in axon and synapse. Is expressed in amphid sheath cell; egg-laying apparatus; head muscle; and neurons. Used to study nephrotic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 23. Orthologous to several human genes including KIRREL1 (kirre like nephrin family adhesion molecule 1) and KIRREL2 (kirre like nephrin family adhesion molecule 2).

Robo functions as an attractive cue for glial migration through SYG-1/Neph.
Title: Robo functions as an attractive cue for glial migration through SYG-1/Neph.
Through a series of biochemical, biophysical, and in vivo functional experiments, study finds that the extracellular affinity, docking geometry, and rigidity of the SYG-1 and SYG-2 ectodomains play crucial roles in specifying a functional synaptic architecture in C. elegans.
Title: Extracellular architecture of the SYG-1/SYG-2 adhesion complex instructs synaptogenesis.
Assembly of the F-actin network requires a direct interaction between the synaptic cell adhesion molecule SYG-1 and a key regulator of actin cytoskeleton, the WVE-1/WAVE regulatory complex.
Title: Local F-actin network links synapse formation and axon branching.
Data show that the nephrin/Neph1 orthologs SYG-2 and SYG-1 form intercellular contacts strictly in trans between epithelial guidepost cells and neurons specifying the localization of synapses.
Title: Functional and spatial analysis of C. elegans SYG-1 and SYG-2, orthologs of the Neph/nephrin cell adhesion module directing selective synaptogenesis.
study found stereotyped developmental elimination of synapses in the motor neuron (HSNL) was mediated by a Skp1-cullin-F-box (SCF) complex composed of SKR-1 & SEL-10; SYG-1 bound to SKR-1 & inhibited assembly of the SCF complex, protecting nearby synapses
Title: Spatial regulation of an E3 ubiquitin ligase directs selective synapse elimination.
SYG-2 binds SYG-1, the receptor on HSNL, and directs SYG-1 accumulation and synapse formation to adjacent regions of HSNL.
Title: Synaptic specificity is generated by the synaptic guidepost protein SYG-2 and its receptor, SYG-1.
