摘要: The mammalian acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) locus was investigated using computational predictive methods and experiments of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Computational analysis identified two genes downstream to ACHE, an inversely oriented arsenite resistance gene homologue (ARS), a novel previously unidentified (PIX), co-oriented with ACHE. Experimental evidence shows coregulation murine ACHE ARS following confined swim, indicating coordinated response stress, that is possibly mediated by altered cholinergic neurotransmission.
