Acetylcholinesterase
Definition:
EC Tree > 3 Hydrolases > 3.1 Acting on ester bonds > 3.1.1 Carboxylic-ester hydrolases > 3.1.1.7 acetylcholinesterase
Acetylcholinesterase is the nerve-termination acetylcholine-hydrolyzing serine hydrolase. It hydrolyzes acetylcholine with water, releasing choline and acetate, terminating cholinergic neurotransmission; it also acts on other acetic esters and catalyzes transacetylations. It occurs in viruses and cellular organisms.
