Facts
- AChE is found in the neuromuscular junction anchored to the basal lamina which runs between the nerve terminal and muscle membrane.
- AChE is found in nerves and muscles and operates by rapidly binding to and hydrolyzing (breaking apart) ACh, which is a neurotransmitter.
- AChE is thus the essential "off switch" for signal transmission across nerve synapses.
- Expression of AChE can represent a marker of skeletal muscle differentiation.
