Acetylcholinesterase, Electric eel
Based on 1 Customer Validation
Acetylcholinesterase, 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.
