Human Butyrylcholinesterase/BCHE Quantikine ELISA Kit Summary
Background
The Quantikine Human Butyrylcholinesterase/BCHE Immunoassay is a 4.5 hour solid phase ELISA designed to measure BCHE levels in cell culture supernates, cell lysates, tissue lysates, serum, plasma, saliva, urine, and human milk. It contains CHO cell-expressed recombinant human BCHE and antibodies raised against the recombinant protein. Results obtained for naturally occurring human BCHE showe...d linear curves that were parallel to the standard curves obtained using the Quantikine Human BCHE Immunoassay standards. These results indicate that this kit can be used to determine relative mass values for natural human BCHE.
Store the unopened product at 2 - 8 °C. Do not use past expiration date.

Background
Butyrylcholinesterase (BCHE) is a major acetylcholine hydrolyzing enzyme in the circulation. Although it is present in significant amounts (~3 mg/L) in human plasma, no endogenous physiological substrate has been described for this enzyme. It can degrade a large number of ester-containing compounds in addition to acylcholines. Thus, it is likely to play significant pharmacological and toxicological roles. It is thought to be involved in the pathological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) by depleting acetylcholine. In contrast to ACHE, it attenuates amyloid fibril formation in vitro. BCHE inhibitors have been used to delay symptoms of AD patients by virtue of their ability to enhance acetylcholine availability. Its involvement in a cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway connect BCHE and ACHE with a possible marker of low-grade systemic inflammation observed in Type-2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, coronary heart disease, and AD. BCHE can exist in monomeric and multimeric forms. The expressed recombinant mouse BCHE contains multiple forms that consist of soluble monomers, dimers, and tetramers.

What is the difference between the Quantikine and Duoset ELISA kits?
Our Quantikine kits are fully optimized and validated for the sample types listed on the product specific webpage and datasheet, as this can vary between kits. Each kit is supplied ready to use with one pre-coated 96-well plate, a detection antibody directly conjugated to HRP, and all other necessary reagents. These kits are ideal for researchers who want the convenience of a ready to use and optimized ELISA product. Some of these kits are also available prepackaged in larger 6 and 50 plate sizes.Our DuoSet Kits, in contrast, are ELISA development kits containing the capture and detection antibody, the mass-value calibrated standard, and streptavidin-HRP to prepare approximately 5 or 15 plates. Ancillary reagents will need to be used/purchased, and for most kits, we will recommend one of our Ancillary Reagent Kits, which contain the reagents we use ourselves in-house. DuoSet kits are validated only for cell culture supernatant samples and therefore require further development and validation for accurate measurement in more complex samples such as serum and plasma. Our DuoSet Kits offer an economical, flexible alternative for the experienced ELISA user.
