The acetylcholinesterase (AChE) gene is located on chromosome 7 in humans, specifically at the position 7q22.1. This gene encodes the enzyme acetylcholinesterase, which plays a crucial role in the breakdown of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the synaptic cleft. Variations in the AChE gene can influence neurological functions and are studied in relation to various diseases, including Alzheimer's disease.
