Acetylcholinesterase Collagenic Tail Peptide

Preferred Label : Acetylcholinesterase Collagenic Tail Peptide;

NCIt synonyms : COLQ; Acetylcholinesterase-Associated Collagen; AChE Q Subunit;

NCIt definition : Acetylcholinesterase collagenic tail peptide (455 aa, 48 kDa) is encoded by the human COLQ gene. This protein plays a role in localizing asymmetric acetylcholinesterase to the endplate of the neuromuscular junction.;

NCIt note : Acetylcholinesterase collagenic tail peptide is a collagen-like protein that forms a triple helix in the synaptic basal lamina of the endplate of the neuromuscular junction; each helix contains a proline-rich attachment domain (PRAD), which associates with acetylcholinesterase tetramers to anchor the catalytic subunits to the endplate.;
