Protein attributes

Sequence length	602 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Esterase with broad substrate specificity. Contributes to the inactivation of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Can degrade neurotoxic organophosphate esters.
Catalytic activity	An acylcholine + H2O = choline + a carboxylate.
Enzyme regulation	Inhibited by mercury. Inhibited by Tabun. Tabun forms a covalent adduct with Ser-226 that becomes irreversible upon aging.
Subunit structure	Homotetramer; disulfide-linked. Dimer of dimers.
Subcellular location	Secreted.
Tissue specificity	Detected in blood plasma (at protein level). Present in most cells except erythrocytes.
Involvement in disease	Defects in BCHE are the cause of butyrylcholinesterase deficiency (BChE deficiency) [MIM:177400]. BChE deficiency is a metabolic disorder characterized by prolonged apnoea after the use of certain anesthetic drugs, including the muscle relaxants succinylcholine or mivacurium and other ester local anesthetics. The duration of the prolonged apnoea varies significantly depending on the extent of the enzyme deficiency. BChE deficiency is a multifactorial disorder. The hereditary condition is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the type-B carboxylesterase/lipase family.
