Cholinesterase (ChE)
Cholinesterase (ChE) is a family of enzymes present in the central nervous system, particularly in nervous tissue, muscle and red cells, which catalyze the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine into choline and acetic acid, a reaction necessary to allow a cholinergic neuron to return to its resting state after activation. It is one of many important enzymes needed for the proper functioning of the nervous systems of humans.
There are two types: acetylcholinesterase (AChE, acetylcholine hydrolase) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE, acylcholine acylhydrolase), also known as nonspecific cholinesterase or pseudocholinesterase. AChE is primarily found in the blood on red blood cell membranes, in neuromuscular junctions, and in neural synapses, while BChE is produced in the liver and found primarily in plasma. The difference between the two types of cholinesterase is their relative preferences for substrates: AChE hydrolyzes acetylcholine faster while BChE hydrolyzes butyrylcholine faster.

Cyanofenphos
0 ImagesCat. No.: HY-120131CAS No.: 13067-93-1Cyanofenphos is an orally active organophosphate insecticide and brain AChE inhibitor with neurotoxicity. Cyanofenphos induces delayed neurotoxicity such as ataxia and paralysis. Cyanofenphos also causes symptoms including somnolence, reduced feed intake and weight loss in hens. Cyanofenphos has a unique self-antagonistic effect: repeated low-dose pre-treatment not only reduces subsequent acute toxicity, but also exacerbates delayed neurotoxicity and attenuates enzyme inhibition, with the protective effect peaking at 24 h after the last pre-treatment. Cyanofenphos is commonly used in studies related to delayed neurotoxicity.
