FunctionACES_ANOGA Rapidly hydrolyzes choline released into the synapse. Publication Abstract from PubMedAcetylcholinesterase (AChE) hydrolyzes the neurotransmitter acetylcholine at cholinergic synapses in the central nervous system (Toutant, 1989). Inhibition of the enzyme in insects could lead to the death of insects rapidly; thus AChE has been a molecular target for developing insecticides. This article is protected by copyright.
