ACHE - acetylcholinesterase Gene
Species: Rattus norvegicus
About ACHE
This gene has 2 transcripts (splice variants), 234 orthologues, 27 paralogues and is associated with 38 phenotypes. Biased expression in Muscle (RPKM 131.4), Brain (RPKM 122.4) and 7 other tissues.
Summary
Enables acetylcholine binding activity; acetylcholinesterase activity; and choline binding activity. Involved in several processes, including acetylcholine catabolic process; positive regulation of neurogenesis; and response to Insulin. Located in several cellular components, including endoplasmic reticulum; neuronal cell body; and synaptic membrane. Is active in neuromuscular junction and synaptic cleft. Biomarker of acute stress disorder and leptospirosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; epilepsy; and myasthenia gravis. Orthologous to human AChE (acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
