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.

-
Acetylcholinesterase, Electric eel
0 ImagesAcetylcholinesterase, Electric eel is a cholinergic enzyme that is mainly found in neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic chemical synapses and is often used in biochemical research. Acetylcholinesterase, Electric eel can catalyze the decomposition or hydrolysis of acetylcholine and some other choline esters that act as neurotransmitters into acetic acid and choline. The main function of Acetylcholinesterase, Electric eel is to terminate neuronal transmission and signal conduction between synapses to prevent ACh diffusion and activation of nearby receptors.

Rhodionin
0 ImagesRhodionin is an orally active, multifunctional antivirulence and cytoprotective agent that targets and inhibits Lipase, sortase A (SrtA), CYP2D6 (IC50=0.761 μM), AChE (IC50=2.43-57.5 μM), and DPPH free radicals (IC50=19.49 μM). Rhodionin is isolable from the roots of Rhodiola crenulata. Rhodionin reduces postprandial serum triglyceride levels in mice by inhibiting lipase activity. Rhodionin also binds directly to SrtA to inhibit its transpeptidase activity, thereby reducing the fibrinogen adhesion and surface protein A levels of MRSA, effectively inhibiting biofilm formation and protecting against MRSA-induced cell damage. Rhodionin improves the survival rate of infected mice without affecting MRSA growth, and finds wide application in studies related to hyperlipidemia, exogenous obesity, and pneumonia induced by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
