Description générale

Molecular Weight: 280 kDa
Isoelectric Point: 5.5
Extinction Coefficient: E1% = 18.0 (280 nm)

Acetylcholinesterase from Electrophorus electricus is a tetramer composed of 4 equal subunits of 70 kDa each. Each subunit contains one active site. The enzyme is a glycoprotein containing hexosamines.

Application

The enzyme from sigma has been used as a reference to to evaluate the effect of aspartame metabolites on hippocampal acetylcholinesterase activity. The enzyme has also been used in immobilization studies for the rapid detection of acetylthiocholine chloride.

Actions biochimiques/physiologiques

Major degradative enzyme for acetylcholine in vivo. Converts acetylcholine + H2O to choline + acetic acid.

Définition de l'unité

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of acetylcholine to choline and acetate per min at pH 8.0 at 37 °C.

Forme physique

Lyophilized powder containing Tris buffer salts

Notes préparatoires

This enzyme dissolves in 20 mM Tris-HCl buffer, pH 7.5 at 1 mg/mL concentration, yielding a clear solution.

Remarque sur l'analyse

The activity obtained using acetylcholine as substrate is 30-100 times that obtained with butyrylcholine, using acetylcholinesterase from electric eel.

A simple method has been devised for immobilization of acetylcholinesterase (AChE)--covalent bonding to a multiwall carbon nanotube (MWNT)--cross-linked chitosan composite (CMC)-and a sensitive amperometric sensor for rapid detection of acetylthiocholine (ATCl) has been based on this.
