Difference between Acetylcholinesterase and Outline of neuroscience

Acetylcholinesterase vs. Outline of neuroscience

Acetylcholinesterase, encoded by HGNC gene ACHE; EC 3.1.1.7) is the primary cholinesterase in the body. It is an enzyme that catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine and of some other choline esters that function as neurotransmitters. AChE is found at mainly neuromuscular junctions and in chemical synapses of the cholinergic type, where its activity serves to terminate synaptic transmission. It belongs to carboxylesterase family of enzymes. It is the primary target of inhibition by organophosphorus compounds such as nerve agents and pesticides. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to neuroscience: Neuroscience is the scientific study of the nervous system.

Similarities between Acetylcholinesterase and Outline of neuroscience

Acetylcholinesterase and Outline of neuroscience have 6 things in common (in Unionpedia): Acetylcholine, Acetylcholinesterase, Alzheimer's disease, Neurotransmitter, Paralysis, Synapse.

Acetylcholine

Acetylcholine (ACh) is an organic chemical that functions in the brain and body of many types of animals, including humans, as a neurotransmitter—a chemical message released by nerve cells to send signals to other cells.
