acr-10 encodes an alpha-7-like homomer-forming subunit of the nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR) superfamily which encode ligand-gated ion channels that regulate fast action of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions and in the nervous system; ACR-10 is a member of the ACR-16-like group of nAChR subunits.
Predicted to enable excitatory extracellular ligand-gated monoatomic ion channel activity and transmitter-gated monoatomic ion channel activity involved in regulation of postsynaptic membrane potential. Predicted to be involved in excitatory postsynaptic potential and monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in neuron projection and synapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Alzheimer's disease; Lewy body dementia; carcinoma (multiple); and inflammatory bowel disease (multiple). Is an ortholog of human CHRFAM7A (CHRNA7 (exons 5-10) and FAM7A (exons A-E) fusion) and CHRNA7 (cholinergic receptor nicotinic alpha 7 subunit).
R02E12.1 has disappeared into R02E12.8, so changing Locus-sequence link.[sdm 000921]
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
