BChE

Butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE; acylcholine acylhydrolase), also known as nonspecific cholinesterase or pseudocholinesterase, is a serine hydrolase present in almost all mammalian tissues with the highest levels detected in plasma and liver. BChE hydrolyzes acetylcholine and all chemicals containing ester bonds, including anesthetics such as succinylcholine and procaine and drugs such as cocaine and heroin. BChE is found in glia and white matter in the brain and is also associated with neurons, particularly in the hippocampus, amygdala, and thalamus. BChE was also found in amyloid plaques and neurofibrillary tangles (NFTs), which suggests that the protein may be involved in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer’s disease.
