General description

Peso molecular: 280 kDa
Punto isoeléctrico: 5,5
Coeficiente de extinción: E1% = 18,0 (280 nm)

La acetilcolinesterasa de Electrophorus electricus es un tetrámero compuesto de 4 subunidades iguales de 70 kDa cada una. Cada subunidad contiene un sitio activo. La enzima es una glucoproteína que contiene hexosaminas.

Application

Acetylcholinesterase from Electrophorus electricus (electric eel) has been used:
  • in acetylcholinesterase activity assay
  • to study its effects on Xenopus embryonic hippocampal cells
  • to study the effect of acetylcholine inhibitors on development and plasticity

Biochem/physiol Actions

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) exhibits its activity against acetylcholine in the neuromuscular junctions and synaptic cleft of cholinergic neurons. It participates in the nitric oxide signaling pathway.
La principal enzima degradadora de la acetilcolina in vivo. Convierte la acetilcolina + H2o en colina + ácido acético.

Caution

For dilute solutions (<1 mg/ml), add 1 mg/ml BSA to stabilize. Solutions containing at least 1 mg protein/ml in dilute neutral phosphate buffer are stable at least 6 months refrigerated.

Unit Definition

One unit will hydrolyze 1.0 μmole of acetylcholine to choline and acetate per min at pH 8.0 at 37 °C.

Physical form

Lyophilized powder containing Tris buffer salts

Analysis Note

The activity obtained using acetylcholine as substrate is 30-100 times that obtained with butyrylcholine, using acetylcholinesterase from electric eel.

Here we show that chronic application of low concentrations (0.01-0.05 U/ml) or a single application of 1-5 U/ml acetylcholinesterase (AChE) promotes the extension of neuronal processes, synapse formation, and alpha-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazolepropionate receptor (AMPAR) surface expression in both embryonic and postnatal hippocampal

The development of alternative ecological and effective antifouling technologies is still challenging. Synthesis of nature-inspired compounds has been exploited, given the potential to assure commercial supplies of potential ecofriendly antifouling agents. In this direction, the antifouling activity of a series

Over the last decades, antifouling coatings containing biocidal compounds as active ingredients were used to prevent biofouling, and eco-friendly alternatives are needed. Previous research from our group showed that polymethoxylated chalcones and glycosylated flavones obtained by synthesis displayed antifouling activity
