butyrylcholinesterase |
| Gene Summary |
Enables choline binding activity and cholinesterase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of synaptic transmission; neuroblast differentiation; and response to folic acid. Located in endoplasmic reticulum lumen and extracellular space. Used to study amnestic disorder and hyperhomocysteinemia. Biomarker of leptospirosis and trypanosomiasis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; coronary artery disease (multiple); epilepsy; and inherited metabolic disorder (multiple). Orthologous to human BCHE (butyrylcholinesterase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025] |
