It All Starts at the Ends: Multifaceted Involvement of C- and N-Terminally Modified Cholinesterases in Alzheimer’s Disease

open access: yesRambam Maimonides Medical Journal, 2010
In Alzheimer’s disease (AD), premature demise of acetylcholine-producing neurons and the consequent decline of cholinergic transmission associate with the prominent cognitive impairments of affected individuals.

Monoclonal antibodies to human butyrylcholinesterase reactive with butyrylcholinesterase in animal plasma

open access: yesChemico-Biological Interactions, 2016
Five mouse anti-human butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) monoclonal antibodies bind tightly to native human BChE with nanomolar dissociation constants. Pairing analysis in the Octet system identified the monoclonal antibodies that bind to overlapping and independent epitopes on human BChE.

Peptide Nanotube Encapsulated Enzyme Biosensor for Vapor Phase Detection of Malathion, an Organophosphorus Compound

open access: yesSensors, 2019
This study explores the use of a butyrylcholinesterase (BChE)-based, reversible reaction biosensor using screen-printed electrodes (SPEs) having a smaller working surface area than the single-use electrodes previously studied.

The interaction of amiloride with acetylcholinesterase and butyrylcholinesterase

open access: yesFEBS Letters, 1990
The diuretic drug amiloride was found to be a powerful inhibitor of the reaction of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) with their specific choline ester substrates. The inhibition constant is in the micromolar range. On the other hand, when added to a mixture of cholinesterase (AChE and BChE) and neutral substrates, amiloride,

Benzoylcholine, Indole-3-acetic And Human Serum Butyrylcholinesterase Interactions [PDF]

open access: yesTürk Biyokimya Dergisi, 2006
In this study we studied the kinetic interaction of indole-3- acetic acid with human serum butyrylcholinesterase. Butyrylcholinesterase was purified from human serum and the benzoylcholine kinetics was analyzed.

Characterization of butyrylcholinesterase in bovine serum

open access: yesChemico-Biological Interactions, 2017
Human butyrylcholinesterase (HuBChE) protects from nerve agent toxicity. Our goal was to determine whether bovine serum could be used as a source of BChE. Bovine BChE (BoBChE) was immunopurified from 100 mL fetal bovine serum (FBS) or 380 mL adult bovine serum by binding to immobilized monoclonal mAb2.
