Human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme which inhibits the function acetylcholine by way of a rapid hydrolysis. It is classified as a toxin/ hydrolase and has been linked to things such as snake venom and has been used in the the development of treatment for diseases which involve the nervous system and the transmission of signals to muscles. This specific enzyme has 3 active binding sites and 6 mutations. Each of which either causing a loss of activity or a mis-folding. | Human acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is an enzyme which inhibits the function acetylcholine by way of a rapid hydrolysis.
