High impact information on BENZOYLCHOLINE

 

Biological context of BENZOYLCHOLINE

  • Substance P inhibited the hydrolysis of benzoylcholine (a good ester substrate) with a KI of 0.17 mM, indicating that substance P interacted with cholinesterase rather than with a trace contaminant [5].
  • The rate-limiting step for hydrolysis of the positively charged oxoester benzoylcholine (BzCh) by human butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE) is deacylation (k(3)), whereas it is acylation (k(2)) for hydrolysis of the homologous thioester benzoylthiocholine (BzSCh) [6].
  • The level of circulating atypical enzyme protein, determined immunologically, was about 30% lower when the enzyme came from an atypical rather than a usual phenotype, and the level of enzyme activity measured enzymatically at Vmax with either o-nitrophenylbutyrate or benzoylcholine as substrate showed approximately the same degree of reduction [7].
 

Associations of BENZOYLCHOLINE with other chemical compounds

 

Gene context of BENZOYLCHOLINE

  • The purpose of this work was to study the catalytic properties of rat butyrylcholinesterase with benzoylcholine (BzCh) and N-alkyl derivatives of BzCh (BCHn) as substrates [13].
  • Though these active site-directed inhibitors also influenced the benzoylcholine hydrolyzing activity of serum cholinesterase, we conclude from the data that dipeptidyl peptidase IV was the true Lys-Pro-p-nitroanilide cleaving activity [14].
  • Km value of his enzyme for benzoylcholine was 1.1 x 10(-5) mol/l, while that for normal controls was 2.3 x 10(-6) mol/l. In addition, isozymic alteration of his enzyme was observed [15].
