BCHE

Relationship

Family: BCHE

Block: C

Parent Family: Cholinesterase

Comment

Acylcholine acylhydrolase, Butyrylcholine esterase, Choline esterase II, Pseudocholinesterase. Esterase with broad substrate specificity. Contributes to the inactivation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Can degrade neurotoxic organophosphate esters. BChE deficiency is a metabolic disorder characterized by prolonged apnoea after the use of certain anesthetic drugs, including the muscle relaxants succinylcholine or mivacurium and other ester local anesthetics.Various autosomal recessive mutations of the gene exist in human population
