About Bche

Primary_assembly 2: 158,307,584-158,401,148 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026975.1

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 130 orthologues, 27 paralogues and is associated with 57 phenotypes. Biased expression in Heart (RPKM 176.5), Liver (RPKM 64.) and 8 other tissues.

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; extracellular space; and membrane. 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); diabetes mellitus (multiple); epilepsy; and inherited metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human BChE (butyrylcholinesterase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
