collagen like tail subunit of asymmetric acetylcholinesterase

The COLQ gene provides instructions for making a protein called acetylcholinesterase collagenic tail peptide. This protein plays an important role in the neuromuscular junction, which is the area between nerve cells and muscle cells where signals are passed on to trigger muscle movement.

Normal function

The COLQ gene provides instructions for making a protein called acetylcholinesterase collagenic tail peptide. This protein plays an important role in the neuromuscular junction, which is the area between nerve cells and muscle cells where signals are passed on to trigger muscle movement.

The acetylcholinesterase collagenic tail peptide anchors another protein called acetylcholinesterase to the muscle cell at the neuromuscular junction. The acetylcholinesterase collagenic tail peptide is made up of three identical parts (subunits). Each subunit attaches (binds) to a bundle of four acetylcholinesterase proteins. Acetylcholinesterase plays a role in regulating the signaling between nerve cells and muscle cells by breaking down the signaling protein acetylcholine.
