Acetylcholinesterase / ACHE Antibody Background

Acetylcholinesterase, also known as ACHE, is an enzyme that degrades (through its hydrolytic activity) the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, producing choline and an acetate group. It is mainly found at neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic synapses in the central nervous system, where its activity serves to terminate synaptic transmission. ACHE is also found on the red blood cell membranes, where it constitutes the Yt blood group antigen. Acetylcholinesterase exists in multiple molecular forms, which possess similar catalytic properties, but differ in their oligomeric assembly and mode of attachment to the cell surface. ACHE interacts with PRIMA1. The interaction with PRIMA1 is required to anchor it to the basal lamina of cells and organize into tetramers. ACHE has a very high catalytic activity. Each molecule of ACHE degrades about 25000 molecules of acetylcholine per second. The choline produced by the action of ACHE is recycled. It is transported, through reuptake, back into nerve terminals where it is used to synthesize new acetylcholine molecules.
