Comments
  • FUNCTION: Terminates signal transduction at the neuromuscular junction by rapid hydrolysis of the acetylcholine released into the synaptic cleft.
  • CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: Acetylcholine + H2O = choline + acetate.
  • SUBUNIT: Isoform H generates GPI-anchored dimers; disulfide linked. Isoform T generates multiple structures, ranging from monomers and dimers to collagen-tailed and hydrophobic-tailed forms, in which catalytic tetramers are associated with anchoring proteins that attach them to the basal lamina or to cell membranes. In the collagen-tailed forms, isoform T subunits are associated with a specific collagen, COLQ, which triggers the formation of isoform T tetramers, from monomers and dimers (By similarity). Interacts with PRIMA1. The interaction with PRIMA1 is required to anchor it to the basal lamina of cells and organize into tetramers.
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell junction, synapse. Secreted. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein (By similarity).
  • SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform H: Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor, GPI-anchor; Extracellular side.
  • ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS: 2 named isoforms [FASTA] produced by alternative splicing.
    NameT
    Isoform IDP21836-1
    This is the isoform sequence displayed in this entry.
    NameH
    Isoform IDP21836-2
    Note: No experimental confirmation available.
    The sequence of this isoform is not described.
  • TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Predominates in most expressing tissues except erythrocytes where a glycophospholipid-attached form of ACHE predominates.
  • MISCELLANEOUS: Synapses usually contain asymmetric molecules of cholinesterase, with a collagen-like part disulfide-bonded to the catalytic part. A different, globular type of cholinesterase occurs on the outer surfaces of cell membranes, including those of erythrocytes.
  • MISCELLANEOUS: This is the catalytic subunit of an asymmetric or soluble form of ACHE.
  • SIMILARITY: Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
