Acetylcholinesterase (AChE)（Cat No.:E000001）is an essential enzyme in the nervous system responsible for breaking down the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in synaptic clefts, thereby terminating nerve signal transmission. By hydrolyzing acetylcholine into choline and acetate, AChE plays a crucial role in muscle function, cognition, and neural communication. Inhibitors of acetylcholinesterase, such as those used in Alzheimer’s treatment, help increase acetylcholine levels to enhance memory and cognitive function. Due to its vital role in neurotransmission, AChE is extensively studied in neurobiology, pharmacology, and treatments for neurodegenerative and neuromuscular disorders.
