Comment

Acetylcholinesterase (ACHE; EC 3.1.1.7) controls synaptic and neurohumoral cholinergic activity by hydrolyzing the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. ACHE function relies on precise regulation of its expression and localization. In particular, alternative splicing of the 3-prime region of ACHE results in ACHE isoforms with distinct C-terminal peptides that determine posttranslational maturation and oligomeric assembly
