WormMine: Gene WBGene00000046

• WormBase Gene ID: WBGene00000046
• Gene Name: acr-7
• Sequence Name: T09A5.3
• Brief Description: acr-7 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-7 is expressed pharyngeal muscle and in tail neurons distal to the anus, and is a member of the ACR-16-like group of nAChR subunits.
• Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans
• Automated Description: 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; plasma membrane; and synapse. Predicted to be part of acetylcholine-gated channel complex. Expressed in pharyngeal muscle cell. 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).

5 Expression Patterns

• Primary Identifier: Expr2009196
• Pattern: Single cell embryonic expression. Only cell types with an expression fraction of greater 0.2 of the maximum expressed fraction are labeled (Full data can be downloaded from http://caltech.wormbase.org/pub/wormbase/datasets-published/packer2019/). The colors represent the broad cell class to which the cell type has been assigned. The size of the point is proportional to the log2 of the numbers of cells in the dataset of that cell type. Interactive visualizations are available as a web app (https://cello.shinyapps.io/celegans/) and can also be installed as an R package (https://github.com/qinzhu/VisCello.celegans).
