  ID: ACES_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Acetylcholinesterase; Short=AChE; EC=3.1.1.7; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Terminates signal transduction at the neuromuscular junction by rapid hydrolysis of the acetylcholine released into the synaptic cleft. Role in neuronal apoptosis.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Acetylcholine + H(2)O = choline + acetate.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with PRIMA1. The interaction with PRIMA1 is required to anchor it to the basal lamina of cells and organize into tetramers (By similarity). Isoform H generates GPI-anchored dimers; disulfide linked. Isoform T generates multiple structures, ranging from monomers and dimers to collagen-tailed and hydrophobic-tailed forms, in which catalytic tetramers are associated with anchoring proteins that attach them to the basal lamina or to cell membranes. In the collagen-tailed forms, isoform T subunits are associated with a specific collagen, COLQ, which triggers the formation of isoform T tetramers, from monomers and dimers. Isoform R may be monomeric.
INTERACTION: Q9Y215:COLQ; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1637793, EBI-1637847; P06733:ENO1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1637793, EBI-353877; P63244:GNB2L1; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-1637793, EBI-296739;
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction, synapse. Secreted (By similarity). Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein (By similarity).
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform T: Nucleus. Note=Only observed in apoptotic nuclei.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform H: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI- anchor; Extracellular side (By similarity).
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Isoform H is highly expressed in erythrocytes.
POLYMORPHISM: ACHE is responsible for the Yt blood group system [MIM:112100]. The molecular basis of the Yt(a)=Yt1/Yt(b)=Yt2 blood group antigens is a single variation in position 353; His-353 corresponds to Yt(a) and the rare variant with Asn-353 to Yt(b).
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.

-  Orthologous Genes in Other Species
  Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
