Analysis of the complete genome sequences of numerous representatives of the various metazoan phyla show that moderate amplification of cholinesterase genes is not uncommon in molluscs, echinoderms, hemichordates, prochordates or lepidosauria. Amplification of acetylcholinesterase genes is also a feature of parasitic nematodes or ticks. This family is now called Cholinesterase like. It also contains sequences very close to AChE but which are either incomplete or are missing W84 or one of the residue of the catalytic triad or are pseudogenes with deletions or errors of conceptual splicing Before this family was called Dictyostelium_crys as it contained only Dict proteins. These proteins have an active site serine and have probably an esterase activity but are in membrane-enclosed crystals and probably have non catalytic functions.
