Product Description: Acetylcholinesterase, Fly head (ACHE; EC 3.1.1.7) is a cholinergic enzyme mainly found in neuromuscular junctions and cholinergic type chemical synapses used in biochemical research. Acetylcholinesterase, Fly head catalyzes the breakdown or hydrolysis of acetylcholine and some other choline esters that act as neurotransmitters into acetate and choline. Acetylcholinesterase, Fly head's main role is to terminate neuronal transmission and signaling between synapses to prevent ACh spread and activation of nearby receptors[1].
