Detailed explanation-1: -Acetylcholinesterase (AChE ) is a cholinergic enzyme primarily found at postsynaptic neuromuscular junctions, especially in muscles and nerves. It immediately breaks down or hydrolyzes acetylcholine (ACh), a naturally occurring neurotransmitter, into acetic acid and choline.
Detailed explanation-2: -At least half of the choline used in ACh synthesis is thought to come directly from recycling of released ACh, hydrolyzed to choline by cholinesterase.
Detailed explanation-3: -One important neurotransmitter, acetylcholine, has a specialized enzyme for inactivation right in the synaptic cleft called acetylcholinesterase (AChE. AChE is an enzyme present at all cholinergic synapses which serves to inactivate acetylcholine by hydrolysis.
