Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE; EC 3.1.1.7) is a cholinergic enzyme mainly found in neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic type chemical synapses, and is often used in biochemical research. Acetylcholinesterase catalyzes the breakdown or hydrolysis of acetylcholine and some other choline esters that act as neurotransmitters into acetate and choline. Acetylcholinesterase's main role is to terminate neuronal transmission and signaling between synapses to prevent ACh spread and activation of nearby receptors.

Information
Intro
Acetylcholinesterase(ACHE; EC 3.1.1.7), 即乙酰胆碱酯酶,是一种胆碱能酶,主要存在于神经肌肉接头和胆碱能类型的化学突触中,常用于生化研究。Acetylcholinesterase 可以催化乙酰胆碱和其他一些充当神经递质的胆碱酯分解或水解为乙酸和胆碱。Acetylcholinesterase 主要作用是终止突触之间的神经元传递和信号传导,以防止 ACh 扩散和附近受体的激活。
