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.

Cholinesterases in Neurofibromas

Archives of Dermatology, 1962
Cholinesterase is an enzyme associated with neural tissue. It has been demonstrated chemically and histochemically in sensory and motor tissue of the central nervous system, the myoneural junction, and the sensory end-organs. 1 Specific cholinesterase, which hydrolyzes acetylcholine and acetylbetamethylcholine (methacholine), is found in autonomic ...

Lithium and cholinesterase

Progress in Neuro-Psychopharmacology, 1980
Abstract 1. 1. Preliminary data show that lithium carbonate administered in patients with endogenous depression significantly inhibits serum cholinesterase. 2. 2. The interaction of lithium with cholinergic system could be envisaged as a possible mechanism of lithium therapeutic action in affective disorders.

THE POLYMORPHISM OF CHOLINESTERASE IN VERTEBRATES

Neurochemistry International, 1980
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE, E.C. 3.1.1.7.) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE, E.C. 3.1.1.8.) form homologous sets of multiple molecular forms, the structure of which is well conserved among vertebrates. Two classes of molecular forms may be distinguished. The asymmetric forms contain one, two or three catalytic tetramers, associated with a collagen-like

The Cholinesterase Inhibitors

Journal of Psychiatric Practice, 2003
Dementia is a serious and growing problem that presents enormous burdens to patients, their families, and national healthcare systems throughout the world. In the United States, there are currently two classes of psychopharmacologic agents approved for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease: the cholinesterase inhibitors, which are approved for use in ...
