Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a highly conserved homotetrameric carboxylesterase that is composed of four ~70 kDa subunits with each subunit containing a single active site. It is a product of alternative splicing and can be membrane bound via a glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol anchor in the membrane or a proline-rich...

Description: Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE, EC 3.1.1.7) is a cholinergic enzyme primarily located in neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic chemical synapses, often utilized in biochemical research. It catalyzes the hydrolysis of acetylcholine and other choline esters into acetate and choline, terminating neuronal...
