| 1 | The known function of AChE is hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter, acetylcholine (ACh). | Acetylcholine | acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) | Homo sapiens |
| 2 | Since a long time it has been known, however, that in the nervous system the localization pattern of AChE does not overlap the localization of cholinergic neurons, and several recent findings show that apart from being the ACh hydrolyzing enzyme, AChE is also a neuromodulator participating in the phenomenon of neuronal plasticity i.e. induction of longterm changes in synaptic efficacy. | Acetylcholine | acetylcholinesterase (Cartwright blood group) | Homo sapiens |
