| Description: | Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is known to be one of the most important enzymes involved in neural responsiveness and overall functionality. Its main responsibility is breaking down acetylcholine (ACh), as a result forming acetic acid and choline. Used to stop synaptic transmission, AChE is often located near the central nervous system�s cholinergic synapses, as well as neuromuscular junctions. Boster provides a kit with sensitive detection of AChE activity. Cell extracts, blood samples, and other solutions can be analyzed for AChE activity, using DTNB to quantify thiocholine, a product of acetylthiocholine hydrolysis by AChE. To directly measure the level of AChE activity, the production of thiocholine is determined by observing the DTNB absorption intensity. |
