Acetylcholinesterase/ACHE Antibody (4E11) [Alexa Fluor® 750] Summary

• Immunogen: C-terminal 10 residues of brain acetylcholinesterase (human and bovine), absent from the erythrocyte enzyme.
• Epitope: C-terminal 10 residues (aa 574-583) of brain acetylcholinesterase (DS-AChE and SS-AChE) (1).
• Marker: Early Neuronal Development Marker
• Specificity: Specific for brain AChE and does not recognize AChE from erythrocytes. The can thus distinguish between mammalian brain AChE and erythrocyte AChE. Weak cross-reactivity with Torpedo marmorata AChE but none with AChE from electric eel or human BtChE.
• Isotype: IgG1 Kappa

• Host: Mouse
• Gene: ACHE
• Purity: Protein A or G purified

Background

Cholinergic neurotransmission occurs in motor, autonomic and central nervous synapses and requires very rapid inactivation of its transmitter, acetylcholine (ACh). Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) rapidly hydrolyzes ACh to acetate and choline, thereby inactivating it. AChE is found in the neuromuscular junction anchored to the basal lamina which runs between the nerve terminal and muscle membrane. AChE is also found outside the nervous and neuromuscular system in blood, lymph, germ and liver cells suggesting a role for AChE not related to cholinergic transmission. Another less specific cholinesterase, butyrylcholinesterase (BChE), seems to contribute to the regulation of the ACh concentration in the synaptic cleft.
