Glucocorticoid Control of Acetylcholinesterase and Butyrylcholinesterase Expression in the Mammalian Organism

  • Chapter

  • 22 Accesses

Abstract

Enzymes hydrolyzing choline esters have two representatives in the mammalian organisms: acetylcholinesterase (AChE, EC 3.1.1.7) and butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE, EC 3.1.1.8.). The functional meaning of this dual representation and biological roles these two enzymes play outside the cholinergic synapse have not been completely understood yet. Mapping of the control points at which synthesis of these two enzymes is regulated, identification of the factors acting at these specific points and elucidation of their mechanisms of action would importantly contribute to the elucidation of this problem.
