1 Inherent AChE-R overproduction under organophosphate intoxication confers both short-term protection (as a bioscavenger) and long-term neuromuscular damages (as a regulator). Organophosphates acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
2 AChE-R(ER) purified to homogeneity showed indistinguishable biochemical properties, with IC50 = 10(-7) M for the organophosphate paraoxon, similar to mammalian cell culture-derived AChE. Organophosphates acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
3 Our findings present plant-produced AChE-R(ER) as a bimodal agent, conferring both short- and long-term protection from organophosphate intoxication. Organophosphates acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) Homo sapiens
