Functional characterisation of Schistosoma japonicum acetylcholinesterase [PDF]

Parasites & Vectors, 2016
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an important metabolic enzyme of schistosomes present in the musculature and on the surface of the blood stage where it has been implicated in the modulation of glucose scavenging from mammalian host blood. As both a target for the antischistosomal drug metrifonate and as a potential vaccine candidate, AChE has been ...
