The Butyrylcholinesterase Knockout Mouse as a Model for Human Butyrylcholinesterase Deficiency [PDF]

open access: possibleThe Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics, 2008
Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) is an important enzyme for metabolism of ester drugs. Many humans have partial or complete BChE deficiency due to genetic variation. Our goal was to create a mouse model of BChE deficiency to allow testing of drug toxicity.

Butyrylcholinesterase deficiency

Annales de biologie clinique, 2016
Butyrylcholinesterase (EC 3.1.1.8; BChE) is a sister enzyme of acetylcholinesterase. Though BChE lacks obvious physiological functions, it is of toxicological and pharmacological importance in detoxifying or catabolising ester-containing drugs. Furthermore, individuals deficient in BChE appear asymptomatic, apart from a heightened sensitivity to the ...

Resurrection and Reactivation of Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase [PDF]

open access: yesChemistry - A European Journal, 2019
AbstractOrganophosphorus (OP) nerve agents and pesticides present significant threats to civilian and military populations. OP compounds include the nefarious G and V chemical nerve agents, but more commonly, civilians are exposed to less toxic OP pesticides, resulting in the same negative toxicological effects and thousands of deaths on an annual ...

Neurobiology of butyrylcholinesterase

Nature Reviews Neuroscience, 2003
Butyrylcholinesterase is a serine hydrolase related to acetylcholinesterase that catalyses the hydrolysis of esters of choline, including acetylcholine. Butyrylcholinesterase has unique enzymatic properties and is widely distributed in the nervous system, pointing to its possible involvement in neural function.

A mechanistic model for butyrylcholinesterase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1979
A plausible mechanism of action of horse serum butyrylcholinesterase is proposed. It includes substrate activation at the level of deacylation. The rate constant for the acylation of the enzyme appears to be much greater than the rate constant for the deacylation, at low substate concentrations.
