Product Description
Acetylcholinesterase Human Recombinant
Overview
Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE) belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family. ACHE catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine and other choline esters that play a role as neurotransmitters. During neurotransmission, ACH is released from the presynaptic neuron into the synaptic cleft and binds ACH receptors on the post-synaptic membrane, transmitting the signal from the nerve. ACHE is located on the post-synaptic membrane, terminates the signal transmission by hydrolyzing ACH.
Biological Activity
Specific activity is > 6,000 nmol/min/ug. Defined by the amount of enzyme that cleaves 1 nmole of acetylthiocholine per minute at pH 7.5 at 25˚C.
Specifications
| Purity | Greater than 95.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE. |
|---|---|
| Formulation | The ACHE solution (0.25mg/ml) contains 10% Glycerol and Phosphate-Buffered Saline (pH 7.4). |
| Storage | Store at 4°C if entire vial will be used within 2-4 weeks. Store, frozen at -20°C for longer periods of time. For long term storage it is recommended to add a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Avoid multiple freeze-thaw cycles. |
