On the multifunctionality of cholinesterases

Chemico-Biological Interactions, 2005
Here we present novel information on non-classical functions of cholinesterases and on a cross-talk linking the two enzymes AChE and BChE. The first part of the article is focussed on the regulation of ChEs and the effects acquired when one of the proteins is knocked down (siRNA for BChE, AChE knock-out mouse).

Cholinesterase in the Lens

Archives of Ophthalmology, 1967
Recent reports implicating anticholinesterase agents in the production of lens opacities have led us to look for the target of these agents, that is, the enzyme cholinesterase, in the lens. A form of cholinesterase, sensitive to low concentrations of eserine, has been found.

Cholinesterase in a Receptor

Science, 1958
Cholinesterase is found at the sites for mechanoelectric conversion of Pacinian corpuscles; its acetylcholine-splitting activity is of the same order of magnitude as that of the cholinesterase at neuromuscular junctions. The enzyme is not a typical acetylcholinesterase.
