ace-3 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables acetylcholinesterase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including acetylcholine catabolic process; hatching; and regulation of backward locomotion. Predicted to be located in extracellular space and plasma membrane. Expressed in body wall musculature; neurons; pharyngeal muscle cell; and vulva. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; artery disease (multiple); and autoimmune disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ACHE (acetylcholinesterase (Yt blood group)) and BCHE (butyrylcholinesterase).

acn-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable metallopeptidase activity. Involved in ecdysis, collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle and nematode male tail tip morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within with a negative effect on plasma membrane fusion. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in excretory gland cell; hypodermis; vulva; and in male. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); autoimmune disease (multiple); and lung disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human ACE2 (angiotensin converting enzyme 2).
