High impact information on acr-6

  • The candidate gene tar-1 (for Trichostrongylus acetylcholine receptor subunit gene 1) comprising 13704 base pairs was thus identified [1].
  • Hcal is related to unc-38, a nicotinic acetylcholine receptor subunit gene associated with levamisole resistance in Caenorhabditis elegans [2].
  • Together with five other alpha subunit genes described elsewhere by ourselves (unc-38) and other workers (deg-3, acr-4, Ce21 and acr-6), this is now the largest known family of nAChR alpha subunit genes in a single species [3].
 

Associations of acr-6 with chemical compounds

  • Characterization of an acetylcholine receptor gene of Haemonchus contortus in relation to levamisole resistance [2].
