Target type: molecularfunction
Catalysis of the reaction: acetylcholine + H2O = choline + acetate. [EC:3.1.1.7]
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity is a vital molecular function responsible for the hydrolysis of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that plays a crucial role in nerve impulse transmission at cholinergic synapses. AChE catalyzes the breakdown of acetylcholine into choline and acetate, effectively terminating the neurotransmitter signal and enabling rapid and precise synaptic transmission. This enzymatic activity occurs within the active site of AChE, which is located at the bottom of a deep gorge in the enzyme's structure. The active site contains a catalytic triad consisting of serine, histidine, and glutamate residues, which are critical for the hydrolysis reaction. The process begins with the binding of acetylcholine to the active site, followed by the formation of an acyl-enzyme intermediate. This intermediate is then rapidly hydrolyzed by the catalytic triad, releasing choline and acetate, and regenerating the active enzyme. The rapid hydrolysis of acetylcholine by AChE ensures that the duration of neurotransmission is precisely regulated, preventing prolonged signal activation and enabling efficient communication between neurons.'
