Summary: Enables acetylcholinesterase activity; identical protein binding activity; and laminin binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including acetylcholine catabolic process; acetylcholine receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of receptor recycling. Located in several cellular components, including basement membrane; cell surface; and neuromuscular junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; musculature; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; drug dependence (multiple); epilepsy; myasthenia gravis; and subacute delirium. Orthologous to human ACHE (acetylcholinesterase (Yt blood group)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Data show that 1-month of oral treatment with beta-asarone reduces AChE, Abeta42, APP and Beclin-1 levels and alleviates some behavioral impairments by inhibiting the autophagy via regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in APP/PS1 transgenic mice.

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.
