Summary: Enables choline binding activity and cholinesterase activity. Involved in several processes, including neuroblast differentiation; response to folic acid; and response to glucocorticoid. Located in endoplasmic reticulum lumen and extracellular space. Used to study amnestic disorder and hyperhomocysteinemia. Biomarker of leptospirosis and trypanosomiasis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; coronary artery disease (multiple); epilepsy; and inherited metabolic disorder (multiple). Orthologous to human BCHE (butyrylcholinesterase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
