Functional genomics of nematode acetylcholinesterases
1 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Acetylcholine is the major excitatory neurotransmitter controlling motor activities in nematodes, and the enzyme which hydrolyses and inactivates acetylcholine, acetylcholinesterase, is thus essential for regulation of cholinergic transmission. Different forms of acetylcholinesterase are encoded by multiple genes in nematodes, and analysis of the pattern of expression of these genes in Caenorhabditis elegans...
